Integrated Graphics Become Disabled When AGP Card Inserted

    I just bought a new computer and I want to have dual monitors. The integrated graphics become disabled when I insert the AGP card (which has one VGA plugin). Is it possible for me to somehow change this in the BIOS to not have the integrated graphics become disabled upon detection of a AGP/PCI video card? I looked in the BIOS and didn't see an obvious solution.

    The System BIOS is designed in such a way that, If you want a Dual Monitor then you need to buy a Video Card that has both VGA and DVI Ports. Its not possible to Connect Two Monitors with one Connector to AGP Card and the other to Integrated Video Card

    yeah most newer cards have dual video out ports (the white plugs on the back of the card) i think you can change a setting to output to 2 monitors, not sure about it tho, never done it

    I'm not sure it's possible, but even if it was I wouldn't think your system would be very stable if you had two sets of video drivers. Best just to buy a new video card.
