This is in an e machines 466id tower - which has the above video "onboard".
Has anyone had any luck disabling onboard video and installing a separate
vid card - ie vodoo2 or tnt.
Thanks in advance

NOT TIOO EXPENSIVE???....unless I want to throw out the built in TV tuner I
have with the All-In-Wonder Pro which means a Voodoo 3500 at least and the cost
of the ATI being dumped......
PAPPY Get with it!!!!!!

What do you have against Papyrus? They were absolutely right to dump
Rendition cards and use D3D and Glide in their latest products. Most
computers come with a good 3D accelerator these days, and if you have
one which didn't you can always buy and install a 3D card yourself.

I haven't read all of this thread so someone might already have
suggested this, but if you're fairly happy with the ATI card for
whatever you are using it for, why not buy a new or 2nd hand V2 (or 2
:-) to run alongside the ATI card, they can be had for less than 50$
these days I think, best of both worlds, and I really wish 3Dfx would
make a 3D only card again....
There's a thought, Papy has a strange way of dealing with video cards,
just about any other game will happily run on a ATI Rage PRO card in D3D
without any problems, yet Papy's sims won't....
(un)Fortunately I need my GPL fix every now and then, so I've resigned
to the fact that I need some kind of 3Dfx card in my puter at all times,
that keeps my all my Papy sims going and that's what matters to me..
