ORIGINAL: tonyd12

I just bought a hp Pavilliona1610n pc and my G3 locks up.The pc has on board nvidea chipset and I,m pretty shur tha tI need a different video card. Any suggestions PRICE is a issune so no daydreaming please Thanks Tonyd
You may want to check your available RAM...

I got a little 2.8GHz P4 Pentium processor equipped Compaq with an onboard Intel video chip (Compaq is made by HP now) and it runs G3 fine but needed a RAM upgrade to do so. It came with only 256k and I got an additional 1MB, then dedicated 128k of the total to the onboard video card.

Unfortunately RAM has gotten somewhat expensive lately, so you'll need to watch for the sales at your local computer store as it will very likely cost you more than a new video card. But even a new video card won't help if you don't have enough system RAM.
