So, if I wait to install ati drivers 'til after the baord is in and my integrated graphics are off in BIOS, will my screen actually work?  I mean, isn't there nothing there? ???
Sorry to sound silly, but the simplest of hardware tasks, although I theoretically know how to handle them, often turn into huge complicated piles of shit for me!!!  Just trying to evade any computer 'splosions!


Windows will use a default generic driver to give you something on the screen.  :)

Cool, Thanks!  Now I just have to remember to ask my Mom to come babysit while I install.  Little one year old hands do not help the innards of computers.  And she screams bloody murder when I type (like now)!  The act itself breaks her little heart. :'(

Ha ha, maybe she thinks you are hurting the keys...

SpaceDoll:
She does the same thing when I stand at the sink (to wash dishes or brush my teeth, whatever)!  It is just weird, like somehow these two acts are me completely ignoring her.  I can do anything else, like stand at the stove to cook, or sit at the computer and use the mouse; just those two specific acts kill her!! ::)

UPDATE:  I got my memory and video card installed, finally!  I'm downloading the latest drivers as we speak, then off to test the Sims!! Yay!  ;D

By the way, my current RAM is now 512MB, any broad suggestions for the size of my paging file?  I haven't done any testing yet.

The key to dealing with screaming babies is to give them something to scream about. Once they realize that their screaming only brings them more pain, they'll stop doing it.
