i finally got my new card installed but i didnt disable the factory one because in bios it doesnt say in easy terms what to change.so now i can switch my monitor plugin in the new or factory card.and to be honest i cant tell much of a difference with the new card so is there something i can do to see if my card is giving me the graphics im suppose to get?
Radeon 9550 graphics card

The first thing I would do is to go to Control Panel to System=> click on the hardware tab=> click on Device manager. (checking first to confirm there are no errors. You will see exclamation marks if you have errors with the drivers of the OS.) If there are no errors you are then free to Double click on display adapters. You will then want to right click on driver (listed at display adapters) to determine if there are conflicts. This will advise you as to which graphics card is loaded. If there are errors you will need to resolve this issue before continuing. With the information you provided that indicates you have a higher resolution than before installing the new graphics card that would lead me to believe the new card has been successfully loaded. If you believe after doing this the original graphics card is still installed you will want to go to add remove programs and search to see if the original graphics card is still installed. If this card is not installed you will want to uninstall the first graphics card program. (original card) Once the program for the original graphics card is uninstalled - you should be able then to install the new graphics card software included with the card.

Go to Control Panel to system to tab that reads hardware to device manager. There you will click on the
display adapters this will show you the driver that you will either disable to uninstall.
If you uninstall it this should give you the necessary option to install the desired driver.

You are looking in the wrong place. If your motherboard has an AGP connector and onboard video, there must be a place in the bios to select either AGP or PCI as the first video device. Start from the begining of the bios. There are sub menus that you may be overlooking

No you don't have to do anything. Leave these alone... This is normal

Read the manual re: jumper setting on MB
If there is nothing in the manual that speaks of a software 'bios' setting than there must be a setting on the Motherboard that will change the way the integrated graphics performs. In my research of this issue it clearly says that if the 'bios' does not show information as to disable an integrated graphics card than the manufacture will provide jumper setting on the motherboard that one can adjust to disable to card. I would recommend the mother board manual reading I have an idea this will correct the issue.
Regards.
