I have a Systemax SYX Venture VXC2 Tower PC, two years old, with
Intel Core 2 Duo E7500
Asus P5KPL-CM mATX Motherboard
4GB DDR2 800MHz PC6400 Memory
Windows 7 Pro 64-bit

Gaming interest has led me to buy an EVGA GeForce GT520, 1024MB DDR3 Video Board

As a retired PEng, I am fully experienced with mounting the board, and connecting to my Samsung SyncMaster P2450 Flat Screen.

Would some one care to walk me through start up? EVGA instructions pretty clear as to loading new driver and set up. My concern is their sentence... "Before installing our driver, please make sure you have uninstalled prior display drivers from the Windows Control Panel, and have disabled any integrated graphics adapters in the Device Manager if necessary". Bold type is my addition.

Is it possible uninstalling and DISABLING manually may not be necessary with Windows 7?Unless you had a graphics CARD installed previously and upgraded to this one, you will be fine. The BIOS will disable the onboard card when a dedicated card is detected.If you have installed a previous graphics card, make sure you have removed the driver via Add or Remove panel or the uninstall method. If your just using the onboard graphics for the desktop, just go straight to inserting the card to your PCI slot, boot to windows and install the CD or online drivers. Some motherboards disables the onboard GPU as some would require to disable on BIOS setup. Go to your BIOS so you would see if which one is enabled.Thank you gentlemen! That is what I wanted to hear. I'll post once more after I do it and let you know the results. Turned off PC and flat screen, opened pc side panel, cleaned off the dust, mounted video board, added screw which holds card in place, changed analog cable pc to flat screen, to digital cable from new video card to flat screen, replaced pc side.

Turned on flat screen, turned on pc, booted up to desk top (a little grotesque in size and icons). PC searched for driver, I stopped the search, loaded GeForce disc, loaded driver software clicking a few prompts, restarted COMPUTER when asked, project completed. Samsung SyncMaster screen auto changed to digital mode. All screen info sharp and clear. WOW game graphics beautiful. Thanks for your help. So much easier than I though it would be. That's great to know!
Thanks for coming back and SHARING your results
