why microATX mobos have integrated video?!

[BobbyWhiskey]

i cant find a microATX ( AMD )without a integrated video card.. it that normal?
and if i install a new AGP card after, will i have problem ? i heard on other forums that there are lots of compatibility problems..

I know mine has integrated video, but it also has an 8x AGP slot. But besides that the integrated video is very decent. An nvidia GeForce 4 that I can set to have 128mb RAM. Not the best but for onboard it's terrific.

Micro ATX is basically made to support mini at cases, and usually have integrated video, although there may be some without integrated....

It is possible to upgrade to an AGP card, if your board supports it. Dissabling the integrated video is simple. You can do it in the BIOS

what was the problem and how did u fix it?

even if you cant disable in the bios, disabling in windows has almost the same effect

can't find any with AGP 8xPro

Good! AGP pro was wierd anyways

even if you cant disable in the bios, disabling in windows has almost the same effect

With some very uncommon but wild exceptions (by fluke) and for non-windowsers
