If you're running into problems these tips might help:
Problem 1) It's not recognizing the new card at all, you need to go into your bios before windows even starts up and tell it to auto select the graphics card or set it to PCI (my machine only had auto)
Problem 2) If you're seeing that it's using the correct graphics card while loading before windows starts, but then goes blank until you plug it back into your old integrated slot, you need to go into your Control Panel > Administrative tools > Computer management > Device manager > Display adapters > then right click and disable your old one (the one that doesn't say NVIDIA.
Problem 3) You can't get the drivers cd to install because it keeps telling you the card isn't actually installed, google drivers for the card type and you'll find a link to the nvidia page. Download and install that (there'll be a bundle for all Geforce FX 5 series)
Problem 4) You've reformatted your computer and even installed the correct drivers from the website, but the color and resolution are set low and can't be raised. For some odd reason you need to still install the drivers for your integrated video card first even though you'll be disabling it again.
I hope some of these will be helpful to you as they're all problems I ran into, but now that I've got it up and running, I love it. The video out is pretty good and there isn't any lag like I was expecting from the card. I love it!
