But it's hard to think of another word that is more appropriate.
I think that for many people once they have found the link for their
card they will bookmark that and use the matrix very rarely after. Once
that is done the Matrix becomes near meaningless to an average user.
For people who haven't found the page yet they are most likely looking
for instructions about how to install the card. So INSTALL seems very
appropriate there.
However if people only want information about a prospective card it is a
different story. In that case a different word could be more
instructive. It would be nice to find the right one :)
