PCI and AGP Graphics Cards

[Cmpowell125]

I currently use an AGP graphics card as my primary graphics card, however i have recently installed an onld s3 Virge PCI grapics card to add an additional monitor to extend my windows desktop, however whilst booting (before windows loads) the bootup screen loads on the PCI graphics card, is there any way to set the AGP card as default in the BIOS??? THe monitors work correctly when windows is loaded. THe secondary monitor is an old one, and is not situated on my desk, so i need the display on the primary monitor. Thanks

Yes, there should be an "Init Display First:" (or similar) setting in your BIOS which should be set to AGP.

It is in the CMOS menu setup.

Look under Integrated Peripherals,
Init Display First,
Setting available are AGP and PCI Slot.
