I recently bought a new Ati radeon 3650 HD AGP 512MB video card. My Dell Dimension 4600 has a nvidia fx 5200 128MB video card. will I encounter any problems down the road when I replace the old card for the new.
 
Well that depends. First of all the AGP hotfix drivers are a bit of a pain so be sure to read up on those. Also make sure to completely uninstall your nvidia drivers before installing that card. The 3650 doesn't use too much more power so you should be fine as far as that goes. Just don't expect miracles if you want to do any gaming.

I disabled the drivers for the nvidia fx 5200 video card and made changes in the bios for the video. I installed the Ati radeon and booted the computer. I get a blank screen when the computer starts windows. What am I missing.
