I have a problem that makes me feel like a real noob. In Vista, my computer
defaulted to using my onboard video, not my card. The problem is that I can't
change the default video item. The card is combatible with vista. (leadtek
PX8500 GT TDH) This brings my base score to 1.0. Ouch. Please assist.

Hi,

Disable the onboard in the system BIOS via the soft settings or jumper.
Check for an option that determines the default video while you are in
there.

um... about that. I got it on my own, and it makes me feel even more like a
noob. I forgot to install the drivers. Go ahead, laugh.
