Anyone that owns this board. How do you disable the onboard video on the bios? Do you have to disable the onboard video in order to use a good video card on the agp slot?
Cant seem to find anything on the bios where it says disable onboard video!

Thanks in advance!:(

From what I understand it is automatically disabled when you add an AGP card. I read over the manual and they don't mention any jumpers or BIOS settings at all.

They do mention a bit of force is needed in order for an AGP card to be seated correctly on this board as well as a screw may need to be adjusted for proper fit.

From what I read there actually is a feature in the BIOS. I looked at this (http://www.soyousa.com/manuals/686/m7isap10.pdf) pdf file for the 7ISA+. If you have a paper version it's page 67. The adobe version is page 71.

-Go to "Advanced Chipset Features"
-Make sure "Use VGA BIOS in VBU Block" is set to "disabled"

That will block the bios of the onboard chip from being included in the boot process and the AGP port will come online instead. Should do the trick...but def. be sure your card is seated properly. Good Luck! :)
