PCI Video

Is there any BIOS setting you have to change before changing an AGP video card to a PCI video card. The PCI video card was given to me and it is new but I can't get it to do anything. I removed the AGP card and inserted the PCI card in the 1st pci slot (next to AGP)

Yes. If you look in the BIOS, not sure where though, you'll find something like "Primary Display Device" or similar. There will be two choices, PCI and AGP.

Now, mine was selected as PCI, and my AGP card was working fine, but I am not sure if that is always true or if it works the other way around too. Just to make sure, change it to PCI and you should be all set. Don't forget to remove the old drivers and everything before installing the new card.
