There may be jumpers on the motherboard to disable the onboard video. If not set the AGP/PCI selection to whatever the new Geforce card happens to be. Some systems don't have an option to disable the onboard video. You can do so in Windows if you like though.
Then you need to install the drivers for the Geforce card, without the drivers its just going to be a Standard VGA Adaptor like you're seeing. If you have a CD that came with it then run that to get the drivers.
If no CD you can download the drivers from www.nvidia.com. Here's the thing though; you can try the latest drivers that support Directx9.0c and all the latest features but they might not work as well as older drivers sicne this card has been long forgotten by Nvidia.

I assumed you have Windows 98 but they have Windows 2000/XP drivers as well.

i got the video card in and working. the driver was on my restoration disk. all the info helped a lot. now i move on to the sound card which isn't part of the original package. i've been all over the internet looking for the divers,but the numbers don't match up. the sound card is xg-ymf7 44-b-v. there are a bunch of numbered cards with xg-ymf7, and then different numbers on the end. i would assume it makes a difference and i can't find the exact numbers. there are too many choices. not sure what to download. i'm wondering if this deal will ever end.

triple6 is correct in stating that manufacturers drivers are preferable to driverguide.com., the driver for your sound card can be found here at yamahas website.
