How can I use PCI and onboard video in the same time?

I don't believe that's possible. If you have enough PCI slots, you might be
able to run two PCI video cards though. -Dave

Configure BIOS, OS and insert the PCI card. You might want to give us some
more specific information ;-)

Why? Half the point of a video card is to off-load tasks from the CPU, if
you even could do this it would diminish the reason for even having a add-in
card.

Why?

Presumably he wants to have two monitors.

Its more complicated than that with modern onboard video which
arent very different from many PCI video cards cpu load wise.

Nope, not if you just want to run two monitors with
relatively non demanding apps like Office etc.

Presumably he wants to have two monitors.

With most video cards (modern) that is a quick to fix in the display
settings.

What I gathered s/he wants is a performance gain.

Not true of the onboard video with many, and not true of most PCI video cards either.

It never said that. The top line is ALL it said.

cards either.

From my experence only.

Okay...

You CANNOT use PCI and onboard video at the same time.

You CANNOT use PCI and onboard video at the same time.

If he wants to use dual monitors like Rod stated, he can. I have done it
even on a crappy EMachines computer (lets just say I was kinda broke until
I broke out I bought when I had two deadbeat roommates five or so years
ago with a budget ATI card. The mobo's video output worked as the secondary
display without any changes to system settings.

works great

if u want to try it do this

disable ur on board
install ur pci and boot
install ur driver for ur pci
shut down
enable ur onboard
install the driver for the onbard

check device manager u should have 2 vid
and windows will display 2 monitor in display property
enable the 2ns display and now u can move stuff offscreen
to the ohter monitor
