well if its a seperate pci sound card then there is no probelm just remove it put in the new one and install the drivers for the new card and you can remove the old drivers at anytime. but if it is onboard which it sounds like it is but might not be then you need to make sure you do it in a specific order and your front headphone port wont work. you cant just set one as default you have to disable on board sound from the bios
