My only problem is that i have Hp's oem board P2B-VE.

I tried disable onboard Graphic.

If there is no way to fix this problem. what kind mobo that is really really chip and will work at least tnt2 and gf2?

While you can get a motherboard for $60, you will then need a CPU for about $40. Most likely, the motherboard will not fit the HP case, so you will need a new case for about $30. Basically, we're talking about an ECS KS75A and a Duron 1.0GHz with a generic ATX case/PSU. HP's Windows version may be tied to your BIOS and refuse to install on the new system. Add $90 for a new OS if this is so.

HP Pavilion 8490

Which brings us to the HP Pavilion 8490. This little gem surprised me when I opened it up. The letters "P2B-VE" was on the motherboard! (P2B series is the best seller of Asus motherboards). Just to make sure, I looked harder to make sure it was an Asus board, and not just a arbitrary number. And what confirmed it so was a chip that had the Asus logo on it. SWEET!

The case of the Pavilion was a standard ATX form factor (as was the motherboard). In fact, the P2B-VE is an OEM version of the P2B-VM. The VM includes built-in ATI Rage Pro video (4MB or 8 MB), and optional sound (by ESS). From the look on the VE, it also had an option for the sound, and the built-in video was also an ATI Rage Pro.

The only strange thing was that the BIOS was from Phoenix, while the same board from Asus used an Award BIOS. Curiosity got the best of me, as I decided to flash the BIOS with an Award BIOS from Asus's site. Needless to say, the system doesn't boot any more (and I almost got an ***** whoopin' from my friend). He decided to buy a new motherboard and CPU anyways. Since the case was a standard ATX, the new motherboard will fit in the case.
