This computer is lauging at me.

Since I've got so much information to sort through, I wanted to make my work computer dual-monitor. I have an extra AGP card and an extra PCI graphics card. Easy, right?

Yet here I am, only to discover that the PCI card is flat-out missing two chips, and that plugging in an AGP card to the motherboard cleanly disables onboard video. There is simply no way to use AGP and onboard.

Um... anybody got a cheap PCI graphics card lying around unused? Doesn't even have to be very good.

Starting work for real now.

Talk to Arthur (Linde 101). He has lots of old graphics cards; one of them might even be what you need.

If you must, you may crack open Random and borrow my PCI card for a while. I want it back eventually, though.
