[CoLoCo] Ubuntu Video Card Upgrading Questions

[NICK VERBECK]

I did this to my one Ubuntu tower awhile back with Feisty. Took the
graphics card from using the OnBoard to use an Older PNY nVidia AGP 8x
card I had. Ubuntu seemed to pick it right up with out any effort.
Other then a Turn-Off, install, and Turn-On.
