and so could anyone like give me a feedback or something?..help is appreciated..=)
 
Your Power Supply will work fine. Most computers automatically disable the onboard video controller once you plug in the AGP card. You will just have to install the new drivers.
 
Don't worry about disabling the onboard video. Most likely it will be disabled automatically when you insert the separate video card. If not, then you will just have two video controllers active - not a problem either and maybe even a benefit.
 
Yes. First you download the new video card driver. Then go to the control panel and uninstall the old video chip drivers in the add remove programs menu. Don't reboot yet. Then you should be able to go to your Device Manager menu and disable the video chip under Display Adapter. Now turn off your computer. Install the new video card and boot up your computer. Install the new video driver and reboot! The important thing is that you uninstall the old video driver so it doesn't interfer with the new video driver. Your motherboard should make your old video chip disappear once you install the new video card, so you don't always have to disable the old video chip in the BIOS.
 
oh..ok thx..but i make a slight changes in my decision..i actually wanted to get 7600GS but now i bought a GeForce 6600GT DDR3 128MB can my PSU support this too?
