    I'm going to buy the ASUS P4S8X-MX Motherboard, which has integreted graphics. Now, I also have a nVidia 5700 VE AGP video card. Can I use the integrated graphics on the motherboard and the video card to dual screen? Or do i need to buy a PCI card to compansate?

    As far as I know, if you have integrated video, and insert another video card, the onboard video will be disabled. I'd suggest getting a video card that has TWO video outs.

    The guide book of the motherboard says that you need to install drivers to use the integrated graphics chip. I didnt know if that effected anything.

    As I said before, typically, if you have an onboard video card, it will be disabled if you insert another video card. If you haven't bought this MB, I'd get a MB without onboard video, and use a video card that has two sepearate video outs....
