581683 2007-08-16 21:23:00 Hi guys,

I have been given an old 1Ghz PC with 512MB RAM that I want to convert to a firewall for my network... heres the problem though, it used to have a add on Radeon PCI GFX card and it worked well....however the previous owner removed the card as they wanted to reuse it, but ... the BIOS has been set to disable the on board GFX socket.... I can't see anything at start up, so is there a way to overide this, or do I need to get a PCI GFX card so I can see the display to make the required changes..:waughh:

Any help, much appreciated!
Andrew
