Confused about current graphics card

I've ordered a graphics card, and I've been looking at how to install them today. When it came to uninstalling the current card, this is what confused me.

Now, apparently my current card is in the PCI slot 1. There is something there, but it sure doesnt look like a graphics card. On the back where it sticks out of the computer it has two phone ports, a mic port and a SPK port. My worry is I don't know whether to just disable it, uninstall it etc. I think it's onboard, so is it just a simple case of disabling (or uninstalling?) it in Device Manager?

The name of the card is SiS 661FX_760_741_M661FX_M760_M741

The graphics card is where your monitor video cord plugs in to the back of your computer. If you find no card that has the VGA port your monitor connects to and just a VGA port off of the motherboard (not near the slots), then you have onboard graphics. White slots are PCI, and the shorter, brown slot is AGP. Installing a new graphics card should automatically disable onboard video and use the new card instead.

And then you just have to install the drivers for the card, so it can perform at it's best for your system...
