You'll need to get a graphics card with Win 3.1 drivers (such as the
Matrox Millennium G400). The integrated graphics chip is crap anyway -
shared memory :(. BTW I don't like these el-cheapo boards with low-end
chipsets very much - had one with some pretty dated VIA chipset, and the
performance wasn't very good; I replaced the board with an Asus P3B-F
(i440BX), and the performance problems were gone (along with some other
strange phenomena). If your new computer should be a notebook, your
problem can't be solved, though :(.
