VGA card newly board on motherboard

VGA card board on a PIII motherboard

hi all,
Got a question about a newly put together from old parts PC, i beleive everything is compatible i havent tried it yet. I have a pentum III (you can guess how old the parts are), the motherboard does not have a VGA jack, so i pulled out a VGA card that plugs into the PCI from a gateway. Now my question will i be able to see anything on the screen, or do i have to install the driver for the VGA card first? and if i have to install the driver how will i know what i am doing on a system that is just put together with barely the bios, that i probalbly wont see. Is there a step before hand or a setting i can do on the mobo to tell it to to look at the card before opening up bios or anything so it can be displayed in screen.
thanks

Clear the CMOS just to be sure, and and you'll be fine.

thanks Palatzo, i will be sure and try that today and i hope it will work. The thing that bothers me the most is that the video card is not in the AGP slot, it is in a regualr PCI. But i understood you and i will give it a shot tonight.
