No but there should be an option to disable the onboard video. Save that then, and that new card should kick in Just install the drivers for it then

If you want to find out what the crad is boot into Windows and it tells you. Start > Run then type dxdiag.

A good search engine can really be cool. I did a search and this was right at the top of the list.

Doesn't look like it will support a pci or agp card.
