The bios says to select disable, but it only offers me 2 choices "onboard video 512k" or "onboard video 1mb". It doesnt give me an option to disable, even tho the help text says it does.

Also, manuals show me it is to have 11 meg shared video, whats with the 1 meg and 1/2 meg then in the bios?

Is it even possible to add a PCI video card if I cant disable it?

HP doesnt have or show an updated bios.

I also have XP installed on it, when it was designed and shipped with 98. I only have 320 meg ram, with 512 meg max available.

I wanted to max out the memory, add a video card, and add a G wireless card. If I cant do the video then its really no use at all is it?

Paper weight anyone?

Does it disable the onboard video automatically once you install an add-in card? Try it and see.

Well, I dont know if it does, the documentation doesnt say so. I dont have the card, or an extra one to try, and was trying to avoid purchasing a card then finding out it wont work.

Can it be disabled from Device manager?
