Before You Begin…
The GeForce 6600GT/6600 graphics card has a universal PCI-E pin configuration that
supports PCI-Express (16X). Your computer may already have a graphics card
installed. If so, you will need to remove that graphics card and replace it with the
GeForce 6600GT/6600 card provided in the EMPREX Nvidia GeForce 6600 series kit.
If you have a PCI-based graphics card, that card also needs to be removed.
If you do not have a graphics card, this means that your motherboard has on-board
graphics (there is a graphics chip installed on your motherboard or integrated in the
core logic chipset). If this is the case, there is no action that needs to be taken before
installing the card included with your EMPREX Nvidia GeForce 6600 series kit. The
GeForce 6600GT/6600 card does not conflict with any on-board graphics capabilities.
