Yeah, the video card sends a signal to all outputs conected right before the OS kicks on.
to make things easier update your video card drivers from ATI pick the larger 17mb (somewhere around there) file, install it reboot, then you should notice a ATI icon on the bottom right of your screen...
Only thing there is your CPU, which is a slower Dual, a faster single core or Core 2 Duo would work, but nothing I mentioned is worth the effort for the amount of Cash requiered.
