OK....I know I should know the answer to this, have seen an FAQ, and a post here on Anandtech, but have searched and can't find it. I know one of the sites has it.

My Dad, bro, and I will all be uninstalling old nvidia based AGP cards, and installing new nvidia based video cards in W2K Pro.

I know there is a recommended way to do it, but am brain dead at the moment. Only thing I can think of is boot to safe mode, uninstall in Mangler, shut down, remove old card, install new card, startup and have drivers ready. I think there is a cleaner way tho? No?
