Onboard video question

I currently have onboard video and I have AGP and PCI drivers. Are the AGP ones for if I attach an additional video card? And if I get a different card will the current onboard video stop sharring my memory?

AGP and PCI drivers for the motherboard? I'm not clear what you are asking.

Yes, putting an AGP card in will allow you to stop sharing the memory.

He could mean drivers for a PCI video card. But when youre dealing PCI video cards, you'll probably just be dealing with the drivers that come with the video card. And i would defnitely recommend getting an AGP video card if you can. the more RAM you can save, the better.
