Anyone? HP *a720n* Running Onboard Video & AGP Video?

[ByTor]

I have a Hewlett Packard a720n running an ASUS a7v8x-la motherboard:

I'm thinking about buying the ATI All In Wonder Radeon 9600 & installing
to this board.
I have the All in Wonder 7500 on my ASUS A7M266 board & never had a
problem with it except it's analog & it's time to update.... ;0)

Anyone experienced this card before on this board? I'd like to actually
use both video adapters, is that possible to keep both enabled so that I
can hook up an additional moniter?

Thanks for any feedback..........

am not sure..but I believe once you insert an AGP card the on-board graphics
automatically disables.

I have an a620n, (same Motherboard) and if I remember correctly, it will
disable the onboard video with the insertion of the videocard. I believe
that you have to select which video you want in the BIOS also...

Interesting, thank you.....I'd definitely explore this. I should just
shell out the $$ & just get the 9800 but will research some more...

Thanks again........

you will not be disappointed with a 9800....

I am selling my 9800 Pro if anyone is interested, I will also bundle Doom 3
with it.
