My sister gave me her old dell desktop minus the hard drive, and i figured id just get a new hard drive and put it back together. i had an old 10gb hd and popped it in to see how far i could get for kicks (i knew 10 gigs was not enough for what i want to do which is to run a virtual pc with vista and various other oses) as i powered the puppy up i heard the infamous motherboard beeps. after listening carefully and googling the beeps, i found that the built in video card was the issue. my question is, should i buy a new motherboard or just get a new video card. im hesitant to get a new video card because i may discover other issues that may cause me to dump the motherboard. however it may be the best solution. keep in mind i work an entry-level ech job and i am very poor.
