ATI Video Card problem.

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.hardware (More info?)

I find it hard to believe there is no option in the BIOS to disable the
onboard video.

But, you rerally should be asking the tech support folks at Asus for help -
it is their motherboard.

There is a video card related option in BIOS to declare which card is
supported at Boot. Suggest you try it if you haven't already done so. Also
the Asus site does show a chipset driver update as well as BIOS updates.

Usally, if there is no BIOS settings for the disabling of the on-board video
then there should be a motherboard jumper. If noy then the motherboard may
be a model where if there is an AGP video card in the AGP slot, it would
disable the on-board video card automatcially. However, you may need to
have the AGP slot set up correctly with the correct AGP speed (2x, 4x or
8x) that matches the Radeon 9600 speed.

You have to tell the BIOS to use the AGP Graphics Card, and the
graphics card is not 256Mbs becasue that would mean 256 Megabits per
second, which is very slow, it will in fact be 256MB of RAM, which is
how much memory it has, i felt this needed clarifiying.
