Title mostly says it all. I found a HDMI and VGA ports under a "This part is unused" sticker(HDMI) and a "Do Not Open" cap(VGA), and was wondering if they could actually be used(despite what the stickers say).

If Java had true garbage collection, most programs would delete themselves upon execution.

Well the VGA output that i'm currently using is connected to the GPU, while the external one is connected directly to the motherboard, does that make a difference? What would happen if i tried using both of them?

Just took a look in the BIOS and i couldn't find an option for enabling/disabling an integrated GPU. Could it be possible that it doesn't have one?

Have you tried using it?

I accidentally used the on-board vga multiple times. It did technically work but the monitor wasn't able to use the external gpu. Maybe it's possible to change that in the bios settings, but I never tried because my gpu has two.

Well, the only thing that i could find in the BIOS was things like Intel Turbo which i assume if for my CPU and not my GPU.
if it helps any, my computer is an ASPIRE M3970G.
