John:
       I have added a video card to a DEC Celebris, which also had the
integrated card as does your P-B. I just installed it, the old one
de-activated and I let Win95 find it ,and installed the drivers as
prompted.There should be no reason to mess with the bios, I believe. The
card I installed is a  is a Diamond Stealth 220, 4 mb. Purchasing via
mail order is usually pretty good, you may want to check out the
potential seller on:   http://www.resellerratings.com/   just to see
their track record.
Also, if you have 'em in your area, computer shows are a really good
source.
Good luck with the swap!
