Ok, this scenario finally has a happy ending. After switching out the video card for the appropriate one (thanks NetMassimo) things looked like they were going to be fine....until the disk that came with the card said there were no drivers for my computer. (errr) So thankfully I had Driver Detective that found the drivers for me.

Man, guess this is a lesson I'll remember.....NO IMPULSE BUYING!
