[dba-Tech] Onboard graphics cards

In Device Manager you should be able to disable the internal display
adapter.  Install the new(old) one and it should be detected and a driver
installed (assuming it's compatible with either) if it's recognized by XP or
2000 whichever OS you have.  You may need to download a current driver for
the card.

Subject: [dba-Tech] Onboard graphics cards


Hi all

I took delivery of my new work pc today, a shiny new HP (bah!) with a P4 2.8
and 512mb RAM. The only problem it has is that it's got an onboard graphics
card. I happen to have a spare one at home which I can take in and use
(being the IT department does have some advantages) but I've never done the
conversion from onboard to outboard graphics - how do I turn the onboard
card off? I'm aware that it's probably different for different
manufacturers, but I thought I'd ask, see if anyone had any thoughts...


Jon
