Customer with A8V-VM board asked me to upgrade mobo: I've basically taken

DDR2 800MHz RAM sticks, AMD 64x2 4800+ 2.5GHz CPU. I've got as far as
powering up and testing POST = OK. I'm not too sure about the following
scenario though: The board has ATI Radeon onboard graphics but I'm hoping to
run the PCIe nVidia t/c graphics card from his A8V-VM . - Is this wise or
does anyone forsee problems in doing so? Would I be better off just sticking
to the onboard graphics for now?

My box has ATI chip (Radeon 1250 express) and I'm happy with it.

Don't know about the 6200, but surely it will suffice [for now] if it'll do
what the customer wants to do.
In the BIOS it should be possible to choose between on-board and separate
GPUs. Also, of course, don't load the ATI driver for the chip.
