yea i know its a piece of sh** but i just need to update the graphics on it

Its a IBM Aptiva (Model Number 2176-C6B) with a SiS motherboard with onboard graphcs

i just recently installed Windows 98 SE on it but the graphics are 16 colors with really low rez. Anywhere where i can download the drivers for this so i can get some decent coloring?


And if you must know its so my sister has something to type with its just gonna be used for Office and the internet thats all :rolleyes:

To point out the obvious, did you look at IBM's website?

I used to have an Aptiva in my previous classroom with Win 95 on it, and I got updated drivers for it from IBMs site.

Google the drivers, worth a shot.

You could also see if there's an AGP or PCI slot (probably at least PCI) and throw a better video card in.
