Disabling Onboard Video Question

[Guest]

Archived from groups: alt.comp.periphs.videocards.nvidia (More info?)

I have a Leadtec Motherboard (WinFast k7ncr18) and I wan't to install
a better video card. There is an AGP slot. I have found instructions
on the Nvidia site for doing this but I can't find any info on what's
needed on the motherboard end like jumper settings or BIOS changes.
Nothing in the Leadtec manual or site. Anyone know if I need to do
anything special? Thanks.

Check in the BIOS for an option saying something like boot video AGP and /
or disable onboard video.

You may not need to disable anything. Some recent motherboads automatically
disable the onboard video when a card is detected in the AGP slot.

If you try this and it still boots using the onboard video, poke around the
BIOS and see if there's an option regarding disabling the onboard video.

I looked around Leadtek's site, but couldn't find any info about this
either.
