2 graphics card's?

I have a GeForce 8800 GTS graphics card put in my computer; they not here the old card contained by. I was wondering if it is possible too hook the dated card back up and put a switch surrounded by so I can change between them.

Answers:
i cant assume why you would want to ... it will probably cause a conflict somewhere down the chain having them both installed and enabled ..
The switch is allready surrounded by your bios and in your operating system
No, you don't want to do that.

Uninstall, and pinch out, the old one. Keep it if the unsullied one fries.

There are cards with two video outs (for two monitors), and here are cards that can be installed in tandem, and connected near a special cable (the Crossfire), but for what you are talking roughly speaking.they will probably conflict with respectively other.
If everything is installed nicely, you should know how to use both cards at once for multiple monitors; the output would be turned on or off through the monitor driver software, fairly than an external switch.
Your old one is integrated graphics which is cut of the motherboard chipset. It is ALWAYS OFF when a discrete card like your 8800GTS is plugged on the graphics expansion slot. It will ONLY TURN ON again if you verbs out your 8800 GTS from its slot.

Sorry, but that is the road most motherboards work.
