Remove all vid drivers
Disable the Onboard video card ( Device Manager )
Insert the MX card into the appropriate slot
Boot up in safe mode
disable anti virus
Install Drivers
Reboot into normal mode

However, There will not be a big enough increase to notice a huge difference

I would stick with your onboard video. That geforce 2 is bout 5 years older then your onboard video.
