Run without Video Card

[MatthewMaes]

I just built a new system and stole my Ti4200 out of my old system. I am going to let my old system continue to run, and I'll VNC or something into it to remotely do stuff. The real question is, will the computer run without a video card? I hope so...

This is when you wish you had a motherboard with onboard video. 😉

Better yet, check FS/FT. I'm sure someone around there has some old 8MB cards that they'll let go for cheap or maybe even free.
