    Question Motherboard Integrated VGA

    Here is a general question I have been pondering that maybe someone here can answer. If I remember my basic knowledge of how AGP works, at least when first introduced, a chipset can only support one AGP device, either in the form of a slot on the board or video built onto the board/in the chipset. Some of today's newer chipsets such as the Intel i815 and the VIA KM133 have both an AGP slot and onboard video. If I remember reading correctly, the onboard video on these chipsets is AGP. Now I could be wrong on this (it wouldn't be the first time). Did the AGP spec change or am I just a fool? <img src="confused.gif" border="0">
    My brain went into standby mode and I can't get it to wake up, is there a BIOS patch for this?

    No, the spec didn't change and No, you're not a fool. The way those boards work is that as soon as you plug in a new AGP card the onboard one is automatically disabled.
