[dba-Tech] Onboard graphics cards

I would think that you would add the new video card, then go into the bios
and disable the onboard graphics card.  Should find the new one just fine.
I did this a long time ago with an Asus mb I used to have.

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
