Onboard AGP and AGP card.

I was just wondering if it would be possible to have the onboard vga and graphics card vga run dual monitors. I know that when you plug in a Video Card that it diables onboard video. Would it be possible to have both working. The mobo is a MSI-PM8M-V.
Thanks in advance.

you mean one monitor running off onboard graphics and another running off the actual graphics card? If that's the case then yes, it's possible. i've done it with my old emachine (intel extreme graphics 3 and fx5500) It's a bit tricky to get them working though, what graphics card do you have?
 
as far as i know its possible to have only one agp card in a system. if your built in card worked on the pci bus you'd be fine but ive never heard of anyone running a dual monitor setup on a system that has a built-in agp card and a add-in agp card.
you could look around for a cheap pci card, there's plenty around.
 
Yup... The onboard video card is AGP, the added one is PCI. It should work just fine that way.

As for disabling the onboard video, if the interfaces are different(IE PCI and AGP) disabling should be an option, but not automatic...

Hmm...I still have to see if I can run two video cards in my machine. Onboard PCIe graphics and a PCIe graphics card. Eh, proably not woth taking the time :P
