You mean your motherboard won't support your graphics card.
The 'port' is a PCI-Express x16 slot,
http://www.msi.com/product/mb/P4M900M2-L.html#/?div=BasicDrivers are small pieces of software that allow an Operating System, to 'communicate' with a device.
Windows XP and Windows 7 are two examples of an O/S.
Operating System.
The Nvidia GeForce 8400GS is an example of a device.
Windows operating load the software FIRST.
Then power off, power unplugged, Anti-Static Precautions FOLLOWED, physically install the graphics card.
If not you may get a driver conflict.
Primer:
When a device is installed on a computer with Windows on it, Windows will 'break it's neck' to find suitable drivers.
If THE drivers are not there, Windows will match up one of it's THOUSANDS of generic drivers.
This = No
Then let's say, you come along after physically installing the graphics card, and install the software off of the installation disk.
Windows: "Which drivers do I use? These or THESE?"
Driver conflict
Now,....which scenario do you follow?
1) Have not installed the software yet,
or
2) Have installed the graphics card FIRST, then installed the software.
