On Board Video ????
Have a few on board video questions.
1) I am assuming that the mobo will ship with the on board video enabled. If so, on a new build if I just assemble the mobo, cpu and fan and ram, I should be able to get it to post. Correct? 2) Now if I am putting a video card into the new computer, can I just turn off the on board video in the bios before I install the new video card, and turn on the machine with out a video card to double check to see if the video is indeed turned off? If so what shoulld happen? I am assuming that I should hear the typicall beeps, and that is it. There should be no video. 3) Is this a viable way to check to make sure on board video is turned off? Thanks.

There are some situations where there is actually no way to disable the onboard video. In some systems, you install the second card and the onboard is disabled automatically... on other systems, it remains active. In that case, you will want to go into the BIOS and reduce the amount of RAM allocated to onboard video to a bare minimum.
