In my Intel Bad Axe, the default option for the primary video adapter is
"auto." There are two more optionsL Ext PCIE (PEG) and Ext PCI. What are
those? I'm using a Radeon X1900GT.

The first one is a 16-bit PCI-Express slot (what your Radeon card should be
installed in). The other is kind of confusing. To me, that would indicate
a normal PCI (not PCI-Express) slot. But if your board doesn't have PCI
expansion slots, then it would have to refer to a PCI-Express slot with
something LESS than 16-bits of physical data bus. (x4, x8, something like
that) -Dave
