One of the machines in the office has an intergrated video card. Is there a way to shut this off and install a better one??
The os is Win2000. Thanks in advance

Most motherboard BIOS's will allow you to disable the onboard devices, including video cards. Then just install the new video card as normal.
Check on the manufacturer's documentation or website for info on disabling the onboard video.

Yes it is possible to add a new video card if your mother board has an available slot. Since your computer is probably pretty new I would check to see if you have an AGP slot on you mother board. The AGP slot would allow to you add a new graphics card to your computer, if that is what kind of card you are wanting to install. After you install the card you will need to enter CMOS and disable the intergrated video adapter, there should be a option to do this in CMOS somewhere. Once you boot up the computer with the new card installed and it is hooked up, you then can install the drivers, but make sure that it is Win2K compatable. Hope this help you man!
