Onboard SC and 410 (Stupid question of the day....)

[PT76]

I've just bought an M-Audio Firewire 410 and I'm wondering about how it fits in with my system. What I mean is I have an ASUS P4P800 mobo with an onboard sound card. Does having bought the 410 mean I can disable my onboard soundcard and uninstall it's driver, or should I leave it be and the 410 will work independantly of it?

Thanks and sorry for the stupid question.

Usually you can use them side by side but if you're not using the onboard soundcard (and why should you), it's best to disable it in the bios just to free up resources and avoid possible conflicts.
