I'm using an ASUS Eeebox B202 so I don't have the option of adding a 
different video card.  I'm not quite sure what you mean by modifying 
hardware but replacing the B202 defeats the purpose of trying to use it 
in the first place.  Are you suggesting I avoid Intel graphics cards for 
this type of setup?
