installing new GFX card?

Postby rohaninabout » Thu Mar 29, 2007 2:40 am

Hey guys, im installing a new GFX card on my old computer. Its a PCI GFX card, 128mb.

my old computer has an inbuilt gfx card though.. just wondering what i need 2 do to use my new one?

so i take the lid off, stick it in a PCI slot, plug in the monitor to the port and thats it? (after i install the drivers of course).

anything else i need to do?

cheers for your help.

also, do i disable the onboard gfx BEFORE i install the new one? or do i install the new one, then disable the inbuilt gfx?

cheers.
