you need to check your documentation to see if you system is able to run both video adapters at the same time.

what kind of 5200 is it? If it has two ports(dvi and VGA) you should have a problem. Plug both monotors in and your all set. Go to nview properties and make any changes you want. this is all after the onboard video is disabled in bios and the card is installed.
