      Hey, My father got a graphics card from his friend and is looking to put it into his machine.
      It has onboard graphics already SIS Mirage Graphics.

      How would I go aboutswaping one for the other?

      Will i need to disable the onboard in the BIOS and add the card?

      simply a matter of uninstalling the drivers, popping in the new graphics card and installing the drivers associated with the card

      blamo :)

      ok made a bit of a boo boo.
      Stuck in the Graphics card without uninstalling the old drivers.
      Heard a few beeps then no display.

      Took out the graphics card and no display either??

      Any ideas?
