    Hi,

    I know this is the notebook forum, I am having problems with my desktop, but desktop review is like an old west ghost town.

    I placed a radeon x600 low profile graphics card, 256mb, in my new to me gx280 small desktop. The monitor displays my desktop, but I tried installing drivers from ati, and it gives me error messages. The x600 is the dell recommended card for my small desktop by dell.

    I was able to play morrowind on just the intergrated graphics with 4 gigs of ram, but now morrowind will not load.

    Thanks for your help.

    What OS are you running? What error message does the installer give?
