The graphics card i am installing is a GeForce 9500 GT I am installing it on a computer with an onboard graphics card (not positive but i think that that is called an intergrated card). Anyway i was just looking for a step by step processes on how i should go about doing this. Should i uninstall old driver first then install graphics card. In the instructions it says to remove old graphics card install new card then too power up and uninstall old driver. However since this is an onboard card should i uninstall the driver first before i put new card in? i am not really to confident on the steps so if i could get some advice that would be great.

I am not sure on my specs i bought this computer for school from a friend a few years back it is  a

dell dimension E520

it has a upgraded hard-drive and that is about it looks like it is about 300 GB now up intel celeron D and windows X that is all i know

Thanks fro you help

A PC that old you will likely have to boot up into the BIOS and disable the integrated graphics, install the new card, boot to windows, uninstall old drivers, then install the new ones.

Did you make sure your Power Supply can handle that new card?

 

Thanks for advising me to check i just took the guys word at the computer store. i just took the cover off of the tower and saw that the power supply was too small thanks for the help i will have to go into the store tomorrow and get a different one. I dont want anything for gameing i just want to be able to run two screens so it is easier to study and write papers. thanks again for helping.

No problem.

Just make sure you mention your PC's model incase it has a special PSU in it.
