Troubleshooting Tips - ATI Technologies 3D CHARGER User Manual

• If you install both a PCI and an AGP graphics card in the same system, the
AGP graphics card will become the secondary graphics card, in most
systems. Some manufacturers offer an upgraded BIOS that allows an AGP
card to be designated as the primary graphics card. Contact your system
vendor for details.
• If you install two or more PCI graphics cards in the same system, the primary
graphics card is typically the one installed in the PCI slot with the lowest
number. This is typically the PCI slot furthest from the computer's ISA slots.
Consult your computer system manual for help in selecting a slot.
