That reminds me of another question I forgot to ask.
If the Built In Video card is no good if I installed one in a PCI slot would it work.
I have a 10+ year old Gateway that only had video on the motherboard. I added a video card in the PCI slot for better video quite some time ago. IIRC (and I might not be remembering correctly) the connector on the video card worked right away without installing a driver but with just minimal colors (maybe 8 or16 bits). But it allowed me to install the video card driver. I'm guessing that the motherboard BIOS or maybe the video card BIOS will get you running. Then you can download the driver for better video performance. Somebody with more knowledge will have to weigh in. So I think you can just add the PCI video card
