I'm not 100% sure but I think once you install the graphics card and the drivers should be recognized with no problem.

I'm going to take the heat sink off give it a good cleaning and apply some fresh thermal paste and give it a go. Thanks! :)

Well, I put the card in and my WEI score went from 5.9 to 7.2 with no over clocking. I'm still going to upgrade the old RAM and cooler when my tight, funds allow. :D
