Actually, some kind soul (in Dublin) gave me an old AGP card gratis,
but when I looked in the machine I saw that though it has an AGP slot,
it also has a built-in video card, attached directly to the motherboard.
I'm wondering if I install the card I've been given in the AGP slot,
can I disable the built-in card, (a) in Linux, and (b) in Windows?

I guess I'd better ask about (b) elsewhere!
