Hello,
When I put my pci video card in and run the onboard video it kills the onboard video.
The only options I have in my bios under onboard video is.
Disabled or extended codec
Is there any way to force the onboard to also work with the pci card?
Thanks
John

If the add-in video card is AGP, there is most likely no way to use it at the same time as the onboard.
If the add-in is PCIe, it sometimes works (or so I've heard).
If the add-in is PCI, it usually works with the onboard. My work PC is set up this way: onboard + PCI for 3 monitors.

It's a just a PCI card. This worked on my emachine, onboard and this card but not my new machine. Motherboard geforce 7050m-m with 2gig dual AMD.
I have 2 reg. PCI slots, I tried both, still kills the onboard.
I'm going to go with a dual pci express card, just wanted to know if there was a way to get around this for the time being.
Thanks
John

Interesting. Not sure what the issue is. Have you tried setting one or the other (onboard vs add-in) as primary video in BIOS to see if one way makes a difference? Do you have the latest BIOS installed? Also, perhaps search the past threads for some additional ideas.

I just got a dual video card, this took care of my problem.
Thanks
