bypass video chipset with card

I'm not really good with hardware, so i'd be grateful for any help: I have a Micro ATX MS-6368 mainboard with a VIA Tech vt8361/vt8601 graphics chipset. I want to install a pci ATI Radeon card. With 98se, can i just put in the card, the comp will ask for the drivers and so on? Or do i have to get in the BIOS and tell it to ignore the chipset? If so, how? Poet

The first thing to do is install the card and then boot up and install the driver. Then do what is needed to switch over to the new card. It `usually' means entering the bios setup routine and changing the default video adapter.
