    if you haven't put the hercules card in than put it in. also increase your ram to 512meg if using onboard video as your lost 64megs to onboard video leaving 192megs for windows

    pro`noob, it's a p4 2.2ghz celeron which will play most games if he ups his ram from 256 to 512meg being he lost 64meg to onboard video if he keeps the onboard video

    on the startup screen before it loads into windows, does it give you the option to go into the setup or something like that??

    either disable onboard in the bios or there will be a small switch or jumper somewhere on the actual motherboard.
    Search the web for a manual for the board if you dont have one.

    But like ddp said you really need some extra ram, and onboard graphics are pretty much the worst choice for gaming.

    cheapest option would be probably a geforce fx5200 and another stick of ram. total cost about £50 and you will be able to play most games reasonably well then.

    i cant help you with your bios as they are all different depending on your motherboard.
    you can try what ecknight says, that should work ok i think in most cases.

    don't forget to connect your monitor through the new graphics card and not through the onboard connection.
