I have an onboard video chip that uses shared memory. I also have an AGP
slot and have just purchased a new video card that I plan to install in
that slot.
Need some advice on the order of things.
I plan to Uninstall the onboard video using Control Panel. Next I plan
to turn off the PC, open the case, plug in the new card, connect the
monitor the new card, and turn the PC on.
Then I plan to go into the BIOS and set the graphics memory share to
zero and save that setting and reboot.
I assume WinXP will "find" new hardware and ask for the drivers.
I would then point it to the CD that comes with the card.
Now, a friend noted that I might need to install the video card software
first and then install the card, etc.
Can anyone advise?
Thanks, Fred
