Chris,
Your best bet is to try Compaq's support site. Here is the link:
http://wwss1pro.compaq.com/support/home/selectproduct.asp?destination=reflib
Have your model number ready and you will be able to browse thru all
documentation available for your system in PDF format. This is what I did
for a computer I bought off eBay.

My Gateway computer's onboard video card automatically disables in the
presence of an external card. (Or at least it is supposed to. I had to try
three different video cards first. The Matrox G550 was the one that
worked.)
