139314	2003-04-27 04:50:00	On an SiS MS8318E MoBo, how do i disable the onboard 3d card?? I want to upgrade to a GeForce 4 440I MX but it won't let me! Please HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!	404error (3327)

Then change primary graphics adaptor to PCI. While there also make sure Allocate IRQ to PCI VGA is set to YES. Save and exit, then turn off PC. Put in card and restart PC.	Pheonix (280)

139320	2003-04-27 05:48:00	Yes - I had to look at the specs twice - the onboard video chipset supports AGP4X - which is good for the onboard video chipset but unfortunately you can't plug in an MX 440 if there is no actual AGP slot.:( I also hope you have a PCI version - I'm not sure what the performance difference would be - PCI 64MB vs Onboard AGP4X 64MB - obviously the onboard chipset is a peice of **** though. :)	HadO (796)
