A7N8X-DLX VGA Bios Setting
This may be a dumb post since I'm not really having a problem, but I was
wondering about the "Primary VGA Bios" setting. I have had it on PCI even though I have an NVIDIA gf4 ti4200, and had no problems. Recently I switched it to AGP since it is an AGP card and haven't noticed a change. Which setting should it be on? Is there any performance advantage or otherwise from using one setting over the other? Thanks AJ |

There sometimes doesn`t seem to be a change but if you are going to do
something, do it right. "AJ" wrote in message ... This may be a dumb post since I'm not really having a problem, but I was wondering about the "Primary VGA Bios" setting.

Thanks AJ Read everything you need to know about BIOS optimization he http://www.rojakpot.com/ Don't mess with the settings, if you don't know what you're actually doing. Read the guide for your personal knowledge. Bye. -- Preferirei essere chiamato genio di male... |

If you had one AGP video card and one PCI video card, this BIOS setting would determine which was initialized first. No performance gains either way. -- "Heavens ta Murgatroid. Exit, stage left !" |
