This may be a dumb post since I'm not really having a problem, but I was
wondering about the "Primary VGA Bios" setting. I have had it on PCI even
though I have an NVIDIA gf4 ti4200, and had no problems. Recently I
switched it to AGP since it is an AGP card and haven't noticed a change.
Which setting should it be on? Is there any performance advantage or
otherwise from using one setting over the other?

Thanks

There sometimes doesn`t seem to be a change but if you are going to do
something, do it right.

It just selects which card initializes first. If you only have one card,
the setting doesn't matter.

Read everything you need to know about BIOS optimization here:

Don't mess with the settings, if you don't know what you're actually doing.
Read the guide for your personal knowledge.
Bye.

If you have one video card, the setting doesn't matter. If you had one AGP
video card and one PCI video card, this BIOS setting would determine which
was initialized first. No performance gains either way.
