I have two open slots and could install a 3rd party graphics card (I'm partial to NVidia), but if I do that, how do I bypass or disable the integrated Intel Controller?</P> Wed, 03 Feb 2010 17:35:40 GMT idata 2010-02-03T17:35:40Z https://community.intel.com/t5/Graphics/Can-I-upgrade-my-Intel-845G-Graphics-controller/m-p/352476#M22850 <P>I have an older Dell Dimension 2400 with an Intel 82845G/GL/GE/PE/GV Graphics Controller. I'd like to use this computer to participate in 2nd Life. Is this controller integrated into the motherboard and/or is it possible to A.) Upgrade this device to the Intel 945G; OR B.) Install an Nvidia Card in an available slot and disable the Intel controller, OR C.) Any additional upgrade suggestions are appreciated.</P> Wed, 03 Feb 2010 06:54:17 GMT https://community.intel.com/t5/Graphics/Can-I-upgrade-my-Intel-845G-Graphics-controller/m-p/352476#M22850 idata 2010-02-03T06:54:17Z https://community.intel.com/t5/Graphics/Can-I-upgrade-my-Intel-845G-Graphics-controller/m-p/352477#M22851 <P>Hi no you cannot upgrade it is integrated.
