Hey guys,

I am thinking of upgrading my graphics card for my PC. But i allready got onboard graphics card and i dont know if i put 7600GT in the computer will know which graphics card to use. My friend told me that he just put in his graphics card (8800GTX i think) and the computer automaticly started using the new graphics card but i dont know if that will happen with my old computer.

My Specs are

Athlon 64 2.4 Ghz

1GB of RAM

64MB onboard graphics card

Also the other thing i am worry about is my PSU, i opened my computer and its says on the box that 250W is the maximum that the PSU can handle. I used one of them PSU calculator online and it told me that i am using 220W minimum... so i might have to upgrade my PSU. Does anyone know how much watts does 7600GT use?

Anyway i be glad for any useful information

Depending on the BIOS, it'll either automatically disable the onboard or set it as secondary - otherwise there will be an option in the BIOS to do one of the either.
