You should be able to disable the onboard video through the BIOS or with
a jumper on the mobo...
If your the lucky owner of a 10/100 switch or bridge you could go with a
10Mbps ISA NIC, if your only going to be transfering MP3's a 10Mbps ISA
NIC will do. You can also overclock the ISA bus to increase transfer
speed of the NIC too (see the Linux Ethernet-HOWTO -> performance
section)
You could then save the PCI slots for a high-end sound card with digital
outputs and video card. BTW, I though I saw a TV card at Future Shop, it
might be worth looking into with all these holiday sales going on :-D
