the drivers will be on a cd that you install. you will need to disable the onboard graphics, which you can do while in window and you don't need to take out the onboard graphics physically, it's impossible anyway. there are slot inside your case towards the back of the pc, you need to take off the side panel to your pc after you have powered down and unplugged the pc. there you will see below the I/O panel four empty slots, one will be more towards the processor, this is the AGP slot. you need to pop out or unscrew the cover on the back of the case that corresponds with the AGP slot, it's easy, it's right there, then you gently line up the connectors on the video/graphics card to the slot, to make sure it's the right slot. now, there might be a tab on the side of the slot closest towards the motherboard, you will need to angle the card to make sure the tab fits, then simply press the graphics card into the slot and srew/set the card in place where you took out the cover.
it sounds harder than it is, trust me. install the drivers and disable old onboard graphics in the order the instructions tell you, now plug in your monitor to the card on the back of the comp. boot up and away you go. there will be nothing plugged into the current monitor jack, because that is the onboard, and you don't want that.
