How to disable onboard graphic on ibm x3100 m4 ?

You can disable onboard graphic on BIOS. Make changes to start on discrete graphic not dual graphic ( discrete vga+onboard vga )

Download the chipset driver for your motherboard.

Yes. Choose by slot size and OS.

If it has available slots then yeah go for it.

Disconnect the hard disk and reboot - wait for its absence to be detected then shut down the pc , reboot and go into the BIOS and make sure the AGP is enabled. Shut down the pc again, insert the new video card, connect the monitor to it then start the pc and go into the BIOS - now you should be able to disable the onboard one.
Connect the hard disk and you're good to go.

you should be able to disable on board video from the bios, to enter bios when you power on the computer look at the corners of the screen it will say what button to press to enter bios.

onboard graphics,,, it is highly likely that unless you can share around 256mb with the card you will not be able to play.

Go in BIOS change the setting in Advanced settings.

Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) X3100 is an integrated (onboard) graphic chip on a Mobile Intel 965GM (with 500 MHz core speed) and 960GM (400 MHz) chipset (for Merom = Core 2 architecture). it is on a graphics card.

Try the following : Go into the setup routine using the onboard video. Go to the  Intergrated Peripherals.
Find the onboard video and change it to disable. Save changes.
Change monitor to the AGP card.
  I hope this helps.
