June 19, 200818 yr Devnull, all the times I have installed a video card into a PC that uses an intergrated it automatically uses that one. (especially considering, you know, the monitor is plugging into the new video card and not the internal). The only thing he may want to do is uninstall the drivers, but I don't know if he even has them.

The only thing he may want to do is uninstall the drivers, but I don't know if he even has them. Some System BIOS (such as OEM builds) are not configured that way, Nadril ... (Surely you know this from all your time using PCs, and helping to fix other's PCs?) ... So that is why I mentioned it for gongusan's reference. : ~D. V.

June 19, 200818 yr No, seriously, I've never encountered that in my life -- and up until just a year ago or so all my PCs were normal ones, with onboard video, that I put in a video card my self.
June 19, 200818 yr No, seriously, I've never encountered that in my life -- and up until just a year ago or so all my PCs were normal ones, with onboard video, that I put in a video card my self. You're lucky then... I'm currently sitting here, staring at a PC (acquired secondhand) off to the side of the one I'm at, which I'm helping my dad get up and running... Unluckily, it just happens to have one of those tricky BIOS settings that I mentioned. Thankfully, we were able to handle it without much hassle, and got an Nvidia card (I forget exactly what model that it is, but I do know it may be able to handle UT3) put in and installed properly. :-s ~D.

June 19, 200818 yr Why are you mucking around in the BIOS though? Windows should have just detected your new hardware for you...
June 19, 200818 yr Why are you mucking around in the BIOS though? Windows should have just detected your new hardware for you... Not when the darn thing is set to only use the integrated graphics and nothing else. Wasn't funny, fixing that 8-ball... ~D. V.

It should detect the new one unless you have no administrator rights that prohibit new hardware such as work or parental controls. I installed a video card in my work machine, and 4-5 others with integrated cards and never had to do anything to the integrated.

June 20, 200818 yr I don't want to start a new thread on this so I am going to ask my question again. I met all the Reqirements exept for the GHz thing and the RAM. I have no I dea how to check my GHz but my RAM is 448MB, is there any way to fix this? Wongton is better than me in anyway~~

July 1, 200817 yr Author THIS one should do fine and is pretty cheap. Another question here; Are you sure this will work with my comp and be compatible with my motherboard and whatnot?

July 2, 200817 yr Author THIS one should do fine and is pretty cheap. Another question here; Are you sure this will work with my comp and be compatible with my motherboard and whatnot? Yes. Ffs... Can you direct me to another similar one that will work, but that can be shipped to Europe, namely Spain; I have no idea what I'm looking for... Gah where's Nadril when you need him... ;_;
July 2, 200817 yr Author Anyone else recommend me a 128m graphics card that will work and can be shipped to Spain? My specs are somewhere on the thread.
July 2, 200817 yr Author http://cgi.ebay.com/1GB-SDRAM-PC133-133 ... dZViewItem If someone could look at my specs I posted earlier and tell me if this is the right RAM for my PC I'd be really grateful. And I'm still looking for a 128M Video Card which is compatible with my computer AND can be shipped to Spain...
July 3, 200817 yr THIS is a site, and a card, that should ship to you. At least I know it ships to the UK. As far as memory something like THIS should work. Your motherboard uses the older DDR memory according to what I've found.
July 3, 200817 yr Author Thanks Nadril although it looks like I'll need some more cash, better get saving up. :/
