Actually, this is not strictly speaking so. You are correct about BIOS's that let you select the order, but I was still a PC engineer when AGP first came out, and in fact the AGP slot is always the *secondary* monitor, by default. However, most modern BIOS's are able to reverse this order, with some of the newer ones being set like that at a non-user level. Seems odd, but believe me, it's true, and it really used to piss people off that were setting up dual monitor configs with 1 PCI + 1 AGP card, because the slow PCI card was always the primary. I don't know what stupid engineer thought it was a good design in the first place, although there is probably an architectural reason for it. - Robert [To remove yourself from this list, or to change to digest mode, go to http://www.penworks.com/lingo-l.cgi To post messages to the list, email [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Problems, email [EMAIL PROTECTED]).
