Dude, an FX5200 is prehistoric - I had one in ~2004 (but it was AGP).
You're using a PCI one?
So your motherboard has built-in video, and no empty vidcard slot?
See, if you add in a vidcard (in this case nVidia) and you have been using onboard Intel graphics for example, your Windows will make a massive transformation to use the new nVidia graphics.
Then, if you pull out the nVidia vidcard your PC will freak.
You can't just casually switch between ATI, nVidia and Intel graphics - doesn't work that way!
Since you can buy a brand-new GT240 vidcard for only $79 bucks, that FX5200 is completely extinct...
Modern on-board graphics (like HD4250) would probably be more powerful.

I have HP E2220 2.4 duel proc it uses onboard display Intel(R)G33/G31 I think it says 256mb enabled ok anyway I got given a Nvidia GeForce 8400GS Gigabyte card but I think it is 512mb...should I use this or the onboard display...sorry it seems a dumb question but I'm hesitant to break up a set package
