Hello Eric, Make sure that the Initialize Display Device in the BIOS is set to PCI, not AGP. Also, if you use a cheap PCI card (I'm using an old PCI Trident 9680 2Mb card) you can run multiple display with this card as the primary display. The secondary card (AGP in this case) needs to be a compliant card (ie GeForce, TNT, etc.) Friday, September 13, 2002, 10:03:53 AM, you wrote: EW> On many motherboards there is a setting to toggle the main display EW> between agp and pci..
