   No, this is mini-motherboard machine with an Intel core-3 processor   
   with one spare PCIe slot carrying a TBS-6280 DVB-T2  TV card. Onboards   
   graphics only.   
      
   Three years ago it set up with a Samsung smart TV as irs monitor.    
   It was mothballed two years ao when we downsized.   
      
   I have just (almost) completed building furniture and so it has been   
   reterieved from its wrapping.   
      
   The thing is, the operating system is dated and needs replacing.   
   SWMBO likes to watch TV so I bought the mini-monitor.   
      
   Tomorrow afternoon though I should be able to test it using the TV as   
   the govenor will be out, before re-introducing the mini-monitor.
