You should probably see a 15 pin connector on the board at which the monitor connects, and the appropriate female ends of mic, speaker, line out, and midi connectors for the sound and gameport connections.

Chances are, though, SW, there would be an ability to disable the mobo's video, so that you could install your own video card or cards. I'm sure the mobo's manual specifies how to do this, either in the BIOS, or, more than likely, through jumper settings.

>> I took the cover off my friends NEC P133 computer and it has a total of 3 PCI slots with none being used. I couldn't find the graphics card or sound card. Does that mean they are built into the MB?<<

Yes

>>If built into the MB, I guess there is no way for my friend to use Win '98 for multimonitors since it requires that all graphics cards be PCI. Or is there a way?<<

I don't know the answer to this question.
