Hi All
If i have onboard video on my pc, (XP PRO) and i want to install a video
card,whats the proper way to go about this?
Do i install the video card and drivers,then reboot and turn off the onboard
video in bios?
Thanks

Turn off the PC. Install the new graphics card. Connect the monitor to the
new card.

On startup, go into the BIOS. Disable the onboard graphics.

Exit the BIOS, saving the settings..... let XP startup, it should find the
new card and install drivers... .then go to the website of the new graphics
card manufacturer, download and install the latest drivers..... after
install, it will ask you to reboot.
