Usually plugging it in will disable the onboard video card. "Republicans in Congress are moving to ratify a constitutional amendment to ban flag burning, thus ending the Iraq insurgency."

Heropsyco, you havent a clue, that dosent work. You have to change the settings in the bios. Oh, and i think you should get an AMD sempron, at LEAST 2600+. Oh, and your motherboard sucks IMO Halflife 2 is NOT the best game ever made.

LOL! I've worked with at least two different brand motherboards that used that particular chipset. In both cases, plugging in the new video card disables the onboard video. Other boards need a particular BIOS setting set to disable the onboard card, that chipset motherboard usually does not. Watch who you're calling clueless because you don't have any idea who you're talking to. And besides that, show some common courtesy. There's no reason to say crap like that. But should you choose to do so, I'll shred whatever other ignorant crap you decide to write. "If that [soiled bed] sheet is a [holy] manifestation, then I'm working on a miracle in my Jockey's!"

Okay, okay, i stand corrected. I was ignorant, because is honestly didnt know about the onboard graphics of that particular motherboard. With the many different computers i have built, using various branded motherboards, i havent come across a motherboard that disables onboard video when a new card is installed. Sorry about my ignorance.

It's not your ignorance that bothered me. If you disagree, that's fine. State why and back it up with fact. That's what debate and discussion is about. No need to call someone clueless. That's out of line. "Republicans in Congress are moving to ratify a constitutional amendment to ban flag burning, thus ending the Iraq insurgency."

Probably not due to lack of CPU power and onboard gfx card. "If that [soiled bed] sheet is a [holy] manifestation, then I'm working on a miracle in my Jockey's!"

Me thinks SMP is overrated for home use. "If that [soiled bed] sheet is a [holy] manifestation, then I'm working on a miracle in my Jockey's!"

dont get a sempron, they suck, if you're low on money then get an xp 3000+ its the best you can get for the money. as for the video the 9600 will do okay. but def. go with 2 512 Athlon xp 3000+ 1 gb pc3200 x700 pro 25gmbgddr3
