FIC PA-2130 VP3 AGP Socket-7 Board/advice on upgrading this mobo

edit- it is a 2130 not a 2012!!! crud i cant remember sh*t
I have
AMD K6-2 500 processor (not oc'd)
256meg ram (micron)
20gig hd (maxtor)

The problem I have is on games. With so much ram and hd space, I would think it would be faster (such as with the SIMS). I set it up per FIC's recomendations on their site. Also, I don't have a sound card installed, it has the jacks for that and the monitor, so I assume it is onboard. Can I upgrade this? It is the first one I've put together (about 6months ago). My wife uses it for her games. Any help would be appreciated
 
The only way to upgrade the onboard sound and video is to disable it and install your own.

And, due to the onboard video, the only way you can upgrade the onboard video is with a PCI video card. That board has no AGP slot.
 
Ugg! That's right. FIC that's socket 7 with a VIA chipset and on board video and sound would be the 2130!

Are you sure that the manual you have that says 2012 or that you REALLY DO have on board sound and video?
 
Yes it is the 2130. So there is sound and video. That is what I am using right now. Any one know what I need to do to install a video card for games? what about sound? Do these need to be bypassed on the motherboard?
