Have you installed the new card. If it is an AGP card it
should be detected and the on-board video disabled
automatically unless you want two monitors.

You can get AIDA32 (Google will find it for you) and it will
report the actual make and model of your motherboard. You
can then get a mobo manual by download and see the
instructions.

| Hey, I just got a Gerforce3 MX 4000 128 MB DDR TV out
card, but my computer already had a 32 MB S3 Savage, how do
I disable the onboard? I tried disabling it in the Device
Manager, and I unistalled all the components of it, but
still didn't work. Then I went to the BIOS setup and the
only option I could do was move the sharing from 32MB to
8MB, there was no option where I could jsut disable the
whole onboard card... am I doing something wrong?

and 120MB (should be 128 once I disable the onboard) of RAM
(I'm getting it upgraded to 256 really soon)
