    I'm cleaning up my kids computer. Its an emachine athlon xp. Nothing added. In the setup I noticed a place for video setup. Two choices, pci or agp/onboard. The pci was checked, I switched it to agp/onboard. Let me say I have not had any problems ,I'm doing a small upgrade psu, cleaning. Does it matter that I switched it to agp/onboard? Also this comp. has a cpu fan and a fan in back.Does it matter if I add another fan, remember it is a emachine and I'm trying to extend its life. Thanks
