The other thread was closed, due to non-payment. So, here's a new thread, just for you.
I think it's a talking bird with a clay tablet. Lemme check and then I'll append something to this or maybe I'll turn on the bat light and meet you on the secret forum.
*** UPDATE ***
The words graphics card and interface are noticeably absent from the system properties > device manager tab > display adapters. It shows:
Matrox Millennium II AGP
Device type: display adapters
Manufacturer: Matrox graphics
The shipping invoice offers this:
Matrox AGP 8MB video board, 4MB module with 4MB upgrade module factory installed
This is one of those times when my ignorance outshines the bald spot on the top of my head. The only words I recognized in that description were megabyte and factory installed.
What's even more frustrating is that the sound card in the old Dell is superior to the sound card in my new Dell. (just one of many things the salesman didn't see fit to tell me). The new one doesn't offer any base/treble control. I'd like to swap them, but don't know if either card would be compatible as each card came with a CD with drivers(?) and Dell has downloaded quite a few driver upgrades. But I digress, and realize such hardware problems (like how to get cotton pickin scanner card to fit in a cotton pickin slot) need to be hashed out on a tech forum. I loathe hardware.
FwF, thanks for any help you can offer. I'll check back tomorrow, if my rapidly fading memory can get me back here!
An 8Mb Video Card is pretty old school, my friend. But here's what I would like you to do. Search Google or your fav search engine for any information you can on your Matrox AGP 8MB video board. I would do it for you, but I've got some irons in the fire tonight that I have to attend to. Anyways, see if your interface is SVGA, VGA, or what. That will let us know if you can run a newer LCD display.
Talk with you tomorrow.
