    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

    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?
