Hi all,
I've just gotten a new graphics card to install in my Dell Dimension 2350. It has integrated graphics and I'm not sure when I should disable the on board graphics. Should I install the new card and then do it or can I disable it, then turn off the machine, install the new card and then let plug and play take care of it? TIA, Jared |

TIA, Jared I would and always wait till after the card is in, think of what happens if you do it before then you cant get the other card to come up, now you cant see anything . not sure if you would see POST to go to Bios to fix after if you get nothing but black screen |
