Help...Before I jump in...

[sunnie]

and start ripping my computer apart....

getting ready to install a matrox G200 multi-monitor card...

first page of the user guide says take out the existing graphics card -
why would I want to do that? I want to connect 4 monitors (2 digital, 2 analog).

Can't I use both cards at the same time?

Please answer yes and save me the trouble of taking out the existing card and throwing it away...

yes it should work fine if you leave the card in. you cant hurt it by trying it. put the matrox in and if it boots up then use it. if not take it out.

That's true (almost, it's page 6). However, the very same page also says that "with multi-display mode, you may be able to use your existing graphics card" :
