You will have to go into the bios to disable on-board video. Not for sure what F key to push. umm.... wait for more replies.
 
No I was told this ..........

You have to disable the onboard video first so that your PCI card will work.....

Here are steps on how to disable the onboard and install the pci card.

STEPS IN INSTALLING A PCI IN DIM 2400, 2200, 2300, 2350, 2400, 3000, 3100, E310
* Right click the My Computer icon
* Click Properties
* Click the Hardware tab and/or the Device Manager button
* Open the Display Adaptors. You should see the Intel video card
* Double click the listing for Intel whatever
* At the bottom under "Device Usage", click the down arrow and change this to "Do not use this device, disable"
* Click OK- Apply- OK
* Close all boxes when done
* Click Start- Turn Off Computer- Restart
* Press F2 at the blue Dell logo screen
* Down arrow to either:
Onboard Devices- Primary Video
Primary Video
Integrated Devices- Primary Video Controller
* Change yours to AUTO or PCI (whatever is listed)
* Press ESC several times to Exit and Save your changes
* As the system starts to restart, power the system off
* Open the case cover and add the PCI video card
* Connect the monitor to the added PCI video card
* Power on your computer
* Let the computer boot up and load the drivers off of the CD provided with the card


Just need to know what will happen when I disable the onboard video. I set the video to auto allready in the bios.
