Has anyone beem able to install a separate video card on this machine? Mine
has an Intel Advance/MN motherboard with onboard video. I am currently using
an AMD K-6 CPU from Evergreen (runs at a blazing 400 mhz), 128 meg of RAM, a
20 gig Maxtor hard drive, Windows XP Pro and a Mr. BIOS bios. The video card
I am trying to install is a Radeon 7000. No matter what I try the onboard
video card gets reinstalled. Neither the original bios nor the Mr Bios show
an option to disable the existing card.
Has anyone found a way to disable the onboard card? Conversely is there any
other way to boost the current video capability? The machine is for
grandchildren to use for simple games. I am about to cut my losses and buy a
new machine for them to use. The upgrade project has now become a challenge.
