How do i remove an integrated video card?

Hi, recently i upgraded to a temporary video card, which is an XFX Radeon HD 4670, and i was wondering if there is any way to freeup the memory my old integrated GeForce 9100 is taking up. my new card installed fine and all is going well but in dxdiag (Run>dxdiag>display) is says i have 4096mb of video memory or something, my the geforce 9100 was using a shared system memory of 3 GB and my new card is 1024 mb ( 1gb ) . is there any way to free the memory from the geforce 9100 or actually physically remove it?|||*facepalm* you can't remove an integrated card... that's why it's called an "integrated" card|||The integrated cards are just chips sautered (Safari is saying that's spelled wrong...I hope it isn't :/) and can't be removed. I know that you can find them by removing the little heatsink over it. Other than that, there's nothing else you can do.|||Hello again Spencer. You cannot take out the integrated GeForce 9100. One way to do this is to get into the BIOS at the computer boot up. You can select to disable it. On most computers, they have the selection to set, such as going from PCI to AGP or PCI-E and vice-versa. Check the manual that came with it or find it at the manufacturer's web site.
