A celeron intrigue (tricky one)

People i have few days to make this choice and i have to make it right or else i might be losing money that might not be caught back.
This issue is about my celeron which i want to upgrade with a new graphic card either the GeForce 2 or the 4th version. The money isnt the problem but it is the compatibility that might be.
First possible problem is that i have an integrated sound and graphic card. Intel 810 ...... The integrated sound once refused to accept a new sound card. Thats one of my worries, buying a cool new graphic card but not being able to use it cause of the integrated card. (disabling it has already attempted but the result is still the same).
Im asking help from anyone who can precisely tell me the details of what might happen.

You will need to disable the on board sound or video card when you plug in an AGP video or PCI sound card.

Hi Shin I've already been through this and I can tell you from experience that it doesn't work too well adding a video card and having to disable the onboard video. The two motherboards I've had experience with this problem was actually an Intel and an AOpen ... both were micro ATX. The video card I was adding was an ATI All in Wonder 128 Pro. The on board video caused more grief than it was worth. We finally ended up replacing the motherboards with full ATX and no on board video in both cases. It cost a bit more money wise but was well worth it in the end to lose the aggravation. HTH MindsEye

Summary: Sorry, but you've got just about everything wrong. 1st of all, you do NOT combine the two cores. The Intel CPU runs at 1.66GHz, not 3.2GHz...the AMD CPU runs at 1.9GHz, not 3.8GHz. 2nd, you're compari...
