You can still use a PCI card as the primary card, most bioses lets you choose PCI/AGP for primary. And I for one would use it as primary VGA, and rather swap in a PCI card if I need to update the FPGA. Also it might be interesting to experiment with the FPGA (not as vga) in the AGP slot. I don't know what you'd want to feed it, but some people surely would like the extra AGP speed. =) -HK _______________________________________________ Open-graphics mailing list [email protected] http://lists.duskglow.com/mailman/listinfo/open-graphics List service provided by Duskglow Consulting, LLC (www.duskglow.com)
