Good Luck,

The intergraph card is a complete 2d and 3d card. You must disable you existing
card. With Compaq's built in card this is usually done from the setup program,
accessed by pressing (i think) f10 during startup. When you switch on the
computer you should see a white screen with a red compaq logo. At the bottom
right a message should appear telling you to press a certain key for setup.
This should take you toa number of option screens. look for the bit that says
'built in grapics' or 'embedded graphics'.
I've never seen a presario so this is based on other compaqs. Best of luck.

My advice: STAY AWAY FROM COMPAQ. You can't upgrade SHIT for it
unless you get it DIRECT from Compaq, VERY limiting. Get a gateway or a
no name brand if you have to. Compaq and others are trying to corner
the PC market by making people buy their computer, little do they know
this. If you want a good PC, get the Area 51 from Alienwear.
