Disabling onboard video……

More Bios Questions……

Alright here we go this should be simple enough how do you disable onboard video?

Since it won’t be needed since there’s a video card installed in a PCI slot.

On some boards it's disabled once it detects another video device, otherwise you'll need to dig around the BIOS for the SET BOOT VIDEO option and set that to PCI.

Sometimes, on certain motherboards....you can't disable the onboard video with just a PCI card. On my computer, only an AGP will do that trick....not a big deal really, because if you have AGP, you might as well use that over PCI anyway..
