Upgrading from nForce2 onboard video... How do I install a 9600XT?

[DevilsAdvocate]

Which drivers should I uninstall? I don't want to ruin my XP install.

I think you can just install the Catalyst drivers... XP auto uninstalls the onboard video. You might also have to tell the bios that your using an AGP video card.
That's what I always did.

uninstall the Nvidia graphic drivers .. thoroughly and clean out the registry.

ATI and Nvidia graphics drivers don't play well together.

Exactly. Run DriverCleaner and NFR several times, and make sure you don't have an active Internet connection, or XP will auto-install Ye Asse Olde Windows Certified Drivers.

question:

in systems ive built using nforce2 boards with the IGP integrated video... the FSB barely can move above 333 when using the on-board video. Although I read somewhere that a 400mhz version is on the way...

Anyway, my question is if you disable on-board video and use a separate AGP card will the FSB scale just like a non-IGP version?
