The monitor on this particular computer is an old one that is already
running at 1024 x 768. I suppose I can try playing with other resolutions
and see what happens.
The onboard video does not have a DVI connector. The advantage of a PCI-E
video card is that it frees up a PCI slot, so I can put in a LAN card
until such time as Genmac catches up.
