 |
|
I've built a few systems, all with video cards, but I was wondering
how the on-boad video works. I mistakenly connected my monitor to the
onboard video, instead of my video card, and got no signal. Is
on-board video automaticly disabled if it detectes a video card in the
AGP? I never tried booting up using on-board video with no video card
installed. Will the mobo "default" to onboard video? (Thinking of
building a very cheap, bare bones system using mobo video) |

Should do.

That will be fine except for high performance games etc. |

No gaming. It'll be used by a FIRST robotics club for programming. |

You have to turn the onboard video On in the BIOS.
If I don't have a video card, and I have to turn it on in
BIOS first, how do I see the BIOS is video isn't enabled?

You just reset the bios using the jumper or
the key sequence documented in the manual.
But he'd just plain wrong on that anyway. |
