414168 2005-12-20 03:29:00 Heh, 90 percent of the boards I sell don't have an intergrated video chipset

You must sell heavily to gamers / over-clockers, because if you go to any large reseller, 90% of the motherboards will have some form of on-board video.

Anyhow, I assume anyone would be intelligent enough not to remove the only available video source if it didn't.

414169 2005-12-20 03:34:00 No, I just sell good computers, a basic system with a low end video card is a powerhouse compared to a system crippled by onboard video.

Only systems I sell with intergrated video are one that are going to spend their life in an office, Though I supose that shows I have failed to make a dent in the ultra-lucritive office market.

Anyhow, Your "assume they aren't that stupid" is a good call, though it wouldn't surprise me if someone took it onboard and removed their only display device...

414171 2005-12-20 04:03:00 I would suspect you have a faulty stick of ram, remove all but one and try again. Metla (12)

I have to say while I do sell boards with integrated video - these are for non-gamers who will only be doing the usual email, word processing etc, all those boards have both the onboard VGA and an AGP or PCI-E slot. SO that if they chnage their minds or later find its not good enough it can have a graphics card added.
Metla is right - read any review on integrated video and it never is as good as a separate card.

414173 2005-12-20 05:14:00 Well it found the ram in BIOS, could it still be faulty? Havion (9450)
414174 2005-12-20 05:18:00 Finding the RAM in the BIOS most certainly does not mean that it is not faulty.

Try what Metla recommended.

I'm glad you have 'considerable experience' as opposed to someone who has only done it twice... pat yourself on the back :thumbs:
