Okay, first off, it's not Dell that sucks, it's the whole concept behind integrated hardware that's retarded.
Also, I tried FD's suggestion earlier today, but that didn't work. The problem is, as Bes has said, the thing refuses to acnowlege anything else, no matter what you do. I think the idea is to prevent stupid people from fucking anything up, but it just ends up being really stupid.
Also... dude, Bes, you tried replacing the motherboard, and even
that didn't work? Sweet Jesus O.o
Anyway, apparantly there's this place around Reako's house called Microtek or some such thing wherein reside a bunch of tech geeks who live for this sort of thing. Assuming his dad doesn't beat us to it sometime this week, we're gonna take his box down there next weekend and they're gonna rip the damn thing out of there and reprogram it the hard way to accept his GeForce. I'll be surprised if not even ramapnt geekery can find a solution. <p><div style="text-align:center">
