Post subject: Need help disabling on-board video on my emachines t6212

Ok, being a newbie at the hardware upgrade, i already put in an ati x700 pro graphics card. Unfortunately, i didn't disable the on-board video first. While the x700 seems to work fine, my system information says that i only have around 271MB of my total 512 (and it floats from 181 all the way up to 271). I need to know how to maximize my ram. I have no idea how to disable the on-board video in the bios, which is what i guess i'm supposed to do. I've been to the bios and it doesn't say anything specific about the on-board video. It just has bios acronyms that i don't undestand. So, do i need to uninstall the graphics drivers for the x700, go to bios and disable the on-board video (which i need help doing) and reinstall the x700 drivers? Someone please help!

You do not need to disable it. Just plug the card into the PCI Express slot
and it will work fine.
