Hi,I ordered an ATI Radeon card from Newegg.com.It's a PCI express x16 GDDR3.I have the slot on the mobo and have 2 gigs of DDR2 ram.Just wondering if the video card is compatable with my machine,it's running on Vista Premium.The mobo is an Asus M2A-VM HDMI.And I would probably have to uninstall the intergrated graphics before installation of new card,although a little rusty on the procedure.

The integrated graphics you must turn off in the BIOS

i don't think that you have to uninstall the graphics for it to run but it might be a good idea though and the card should work as long as you have the min. requirements for the card and the right slot(i made that mistake awhile back)

edit: i guess lighthouse has beat me to this thread and knows more about this stuff than I

Thank you both for your response,hopefully the card improves the overall performance.I'm also going to upgrade my cpu fan to a Zalman and quiet this homemade beast of mine.Take care,Sparky
