Well you are going to have to go into your BIOS first and disable your onboard graphics.

Eh oh **** how do all that?...eh this sux :-(

By pressing Delete or F1 until you get to your CMOS screen, you start hitting the button as soon as you turn power on.

Be careful, My guess is you don't even know what the CMOS is.

You sure you have to disable the onboard graphics? When i installed my 6600 i never had to disable the onboard graphics. I just plugged in the videocard and it booted up then after i installed the drivers. Maybe my mobo automaticlly disabled my onboard graphix bcause i never did.

For some motherboards you do, however it is always a good idea to check anyways.

yeah just right now i checked and it was off so i guess the mobo recognized my new videocard and disabled it.

I'm guessing this is reversed. Easy enough to do... trust me.

Anyway, once you get to your onboard settings in the bIOS, set the memory allocated to it (onboard graphics) to 0.
