>... will a terminator work? any suggestions .... Depends. T1000's are certainly durable, but are also quite lethal. However, in the end, the older ***g version was able to use it's superior processing abilities to out-deduce and thereby defeat the T1000 version, much to the relief of the present populus. In all, Terminator's are quite dangerous to with, so caution is advised. Good Luck, Arnold Schartznager

The intergraph card is a complete 2d and 3d card. You must disable you existing card. With Compaq's built in card this is usually done from the setup program, accessed by pressing (i think) f10 during startup. When you switch on the computer you should see a white screen with a red compaq logo. At the bottom right a message should appear telling you to press a certain key for setup. This should take you toa number of option screens. look for the bit that says 'built in grapics' or 'embedded graphics'. I've never seen a presario so this is based on other compaqs. Best of luck.

My advice: STAY AWAY FROM COMPAQ. You can't upgrade SHIT for it unless you get it DIRECT from Compaq, VERY limiting. Get a gateway or a no name brand if you have to. Compaq and others are trying to corner the PC market by making people buy their computer, little do they know this. If you want a good PC, get the Area 51 from Alienwear.
