Planning to upgrade my vid card, i'm using the onboard graphic card on my msi board. I go to bios to disable right? Once thats done are there any other drivers that need to be uninstalled before installing the new vid card (not sure if the nforce driver is all packaged as one or not)?
 
Actually you don't have to do anything other than plug your new video card into the AGP port. The onboard graphics will automatically disable themselves.

There is no need to uninstall any drivers either, though you may wish to install the latest official detonators.

Hah!

This is assuming he will buy/upgrade with a Geforce card...

And no, you don't need to disable onboard graphics in bios. Board will detect your AGP card automatically and use it insteadt of onboard gfx. Ofcourse you CAN do it, but ?

Consider it confirmed. I just stuck a 8500LE in my A7N266-VM (nForce 1) mobo and it automatically booted up with the 8500LE as the display card. Didn't need to mess with the BIOS as all.
