You are not supposed to have any problems, just uninstall the NVIDIA drivers, disable the onboard VGA from the BIOS, Dont think you shouldnt have any problems

thanks

wow that was really fast. Thank you, but i am going to need a walk through with the bios and uninstalling, i am not very computer literate....Thank you if anyone can help!

i also have another questio....do you think this graphics card will run fine with Guild Wars too?

 

[Jevond]

It depends on your mboard...... check your mainboard manual it will usally tell you how to do it. you can also check this link, they are all fairly similar - http://www.dtk.com.tw/tech/gfaq9.html. You can also check this link out, i think it is better, you have to scroll down abit though - http://www.experts-exchange.com/Hardware/New_Users/Q_20412816.html.

it's the waiting that kills ya...................(stupid 2nd day delivery is still too slow!)

lol, yea, well i just ordered mine like 3 days ago, but i didnt get 2 day shipping cuz i am on a huge budget, thats why i got a budget card, but yea, its just so annoying knowing that you bought it but its not inj your hands yet. i am also, like every hour i get on and check where it is with my shipping nimber!lol

 

[Jevond]

I just get mine from my local supplier, but they didnt have in stock........but the best things come to those who wait?! I hate being patient!!

 

[Midgetmax]

yea!! i got surprised todfay when fed ex showed up and i found out that it came a day early. wow, this card is amazing(i know its old but its alot nicer than a GeForce 2 64 mb) i didnt even have to uninstall anything, i just put it in, installed the drivers from the CD and i was done, well after i restarted. Its so amazing Guild wars looks amazing, and i get 100 fps on CS!!!!
