This system has Phoenix BIOS Setup. I see only 3 settings mentioning VIDEO...
1.) Video System [EGA/VGA] can toggle to Monochrome or CGA 80x25 .
2.) Under MEMORY and CACHE
A.) CACHE VIDEO BIOS: [ENABLED] - can toggle to DISABLED.
B.) VIDEO SHADOW: [ENABLED] - can toggle to DISABLED.
Do any of those setting sound like they would disable the on-board video in favor of putting in a seperate PCI video card?
Thank you for your help!!
