Gil, this may be something to be concerned about. Since you posted that the motherboard is Intel with onboard graphics, it stirred a memory. I had a used machine come thru the shop once which I tried to install a PCI card in also. The motherboard was Intel with onboard video & shared memory. I could get a screen from a PCI graphics, but as far as getting it to work reliably, no! I never explored it further, but it may be an inherent problem with Intel motherboards and onboard graphics. <snip>
Hi All...
Lee, your recall is impressive. The system has *dynamic* shared memory, but I think it can probably be tamed. The board is listed as "unknown" in v.3.0 of the CDB.
Here's a .pdf of the user's guide, if you want to look it over:

Gil, have you succeeded yet in getting SaX2 to run without aborting?

Have not had a moment to try. Very hectic here at the moment. I hope to be able to try on Sunday. Sorry for the delay but I have to get some projects completed and I need the pooter running. Can't take the time today or tomorrow to change the BIOS setting and install the video card, and then try sax2. I will report to the list as soon as I am able to run the test. Thanks!! Gil
