Help with disabling the onboard video!?
The motherboard im getting is the Asus M2A-VM-HDMI. The reason why im getting the hdmi version is because its coming as a barebone set.
im buying graphics card seperately. I looked at mobo manual, and i cant find anywhere i where i can disable onboard video. How do i do this?
oh really? I thought mobos can only support ONLY 1 video card (except sli). Thats what i thought….
can anyone confim this?
To answer your questions (and your edited questions)
Anytime you plug in an extra video card, in any slot, it disables the onboard. Like 99.999999999% of bios’s do this automatically. I can’t even think of a single one that DOESN’T do it. I mean, when you think about it, that’s a extremely awful option. What happens if your add-on video card fails, then you get no video to see to re-enable the onboard video, cause it’s umm, disabled! 
As of Windows XP, you can use multiple video cards (not in SLI). This is called Multimon. (Multiple Monitors). You cannot use onboard + 1 though for this, unless you have a rare motherboard that explicitly is designed for this. However, you can use multimon with 2 PCI-Express or 2 PCI video cards (or 2 AGP, but would be an oddity). Multimon was made before AGP. Some video cards also have “multimon” built in, also. Such as a single PCI card that is really 2/3/4 video cards.
In this case, you would have two seperate monitors. Generally, one is your desktop and the other the “active window”. You can drag windows from one monitor to the other. With multimon, you can (as far as WindowsXP is concerned) have up to 9 video cards. (Picture 3 monitors x 3 monitors stacked next to each other, for one giant display)
This is a standard that was never embraced. But it is kinda neat
