Hello there, I am new to NTcompatible.com. I have a sony VAIO with an SiS 651 chipset. I have been wanting to play some newer games and the graphics card that came with the machine is just not capable of running those games. After 2 years of just dealing with it and not playing the games, I finally went to the store and bought myself a ATI Radeon 9200 Graphics card in hopes of fixing my problem. Now I have the card installed but am unable to get my games to work. After reading some other peoples messages and talking with the SONY support guy online, I am thinking that my problem may lie in my inability to make the onboard graphics card secondary. Can someone help me with any sort of suggestions and/or help? Thanks for your help in advance.

Peter, Thank you for yuor help so far. I haven't been able to get this right yet. I went into my BIOS which is the Award BIOS Setup Utility. The following were my choices under the Advanced Menu, PCI Configuration: Slot 1 IRQ {Auto} Slot 2 IRQ {Auto} Slot 3 IRQ {Auto} VGA BIOS Sequence {PCI/AGP} - I switched this to AGP/PCI Onboard LAN Boot ROM {Disabled} After making the switch that I listed above, I was unable to find any other area to adjust the Graphics Card. Is there another place that I should be checking? Any advice that you have will be very useful. ** by the way. My computer is popping up a 'Found New Hardware' information box after the systems boots up. Should I go through that sequence? Thanks again

Peter, Many thanks for your suggestion. I will be trying this out and I will let you know how it turns out!
