Hello, I'm having an problem installing a Radeon HD 5450 into my Vista pc. I put the card in properly and have gone into the BIOS and set it from onboard to PCI-E x16, but the computer will still use the onboard graphics. Any help in figuring out why would be greatly appreciated. The computer specs can be found here: Compaq Presario SR5250NX Desktop PC Product Specifications Compaq Presario SR5250NX Desktop PC - HP Customer Care (United States - English)
The only changes I have made have been replacing the RAM with two 1GB RAM sticks, and replacing the power supply with one from my other computer that originally had this card in it.
And I'm also wondering, and this may be a stupid question but I'm curious, if an NVIDIA GeForce FX 5200 is better than the onboard graphics on this pc.
Thank you.
EDIT: This computer IS my computer, but since I got a new computer I let my neighbor borrow this one, so if you suggest that I download anything onto the computer it could take some time before it actually gets on the computer (whenever my neighbor decides he wants to download and install whatever it is)
