on configuring my computer to recognize a new graphics card..

[pianoplayer]

i have integrated graphics and i just ordered a new video card
when it gets her, after ive physically installed it, is it correct that i have to wait until restart, and on the loading screen hit f10 or whatever it is to get the setup menu
and then where it says

primary video adapter, or something to that effect
do i switch it from PCI , to PCI-E
(Im not sure why its already on pci intsead of onboard, seeing as how i have integrated.. hmm)?

It should automatically disable the onboard video when you install a video card, so there's no need to change any settings.

ok thanks
any ideas as to why it's defaulted at PCI when i don't have anything there...? it's onboard? but its not set on it

its defaulted to PCI so that it when you install a new card you dont have to go to bios to change it. if it was set default to integrated you would. if its set default to PCI, and theres nothing in the PCI, then it will automatically go to the secondary, or integrated card. if you install something into the PCI (or PCIE) then the computer recognizes a card in the default config and automatically disables the secondary.
