You are not able to use onboard graphics and a graphics card at the same time.
You can use 1 card to power 2 monitors (and sometimes more depending on the card)

My last card was a 5850 and yeah if I wasn't pushing multiple monitors and graphically intense multi-player games, the 5850 would be more than fine, still.
I have it boxed away as emergency replacement, and my 8800 GTS instead is active in my Linux box and doing a swell job, rarely used, any way.
