Disabling onboard graphics?
Hi,
I have an old optiplex gx1 I wat to use for old games and I want to use a PCI graphics card I have, problem is I can't figure out how to disable the onboard graphics - there's nothing under the bios to do it as far as I can see. The new card installs ok but only runs at 640x480, the best I can do is disable the onboard ati under device manager. thanks guys.

the card and use.
My preference is Geforce FX5500 PCI from PNY because their card is universal 3.3v pci so it will work in newer machines when you retire the GX1.
Newer dells with PCI slots have PCI 2.3 slots that are 3.3v only.
Older 5v pci cards are no longer supported.

I have this same issue and when I went to the bios there was no pci / auto select in the intergrated devices. Can you suggest something else? my bios version is A07. Can it be upgraded or do I need to talk to a Dell Technician?
Hope you can help.

End of story.
You plug in an NVIDIA based card.
End of story.
You put in ATI based card and its not working.

Hi there
I have a GX-1 with a Radeon 7000 VE PCI gfx card and it works fine. What I 'CANT' do however is run the VGA output of the radeon VE as monitor 1 and use the onboard RAGE AGP2 Graphics as Monitor 2 in a dual monitor scenario.
Windows just stated in Device Manager that "the device cannot start because there is a problem". Any Idea's?? is the problem that there is a conflict with the PCI card or am I just in the wind with this idea? Perhaps it would work if I uninstalled/Removed the PCI ard, setup the onboard graphics first, then with both monitor's attached, reinstalled (and re-fitted) the Radeon Card ?
any help will be extremely grateful.

many thanks over the year to everyone on this forum, without it my humble GX-1 wouldn't be happily running at 1.4mhz with 1GB ram on a daily basis.

Dell Part number 09269U
Other cards with 32 or 64 megs of video ram seem to overlap and conflict with the onboard rage pro
and therefore do not work.
The PNY PCI Verto Geforce FX5500 PCI cards come with dual VGA ports so they overcome the issue by
supporting dual view on the single card. The Rage Pro has a Red X on it in the device manager and otherwise
does not work at all.
I have zero luck getting Radeon or RageII PCI or Rage 128 PCI cards working on GX1 OR GX110 with the onboard
video.
