Tyan 1854 PCI vs AGP video card boot

External Since: Aug 30, 2003 Posts: 2

Hello all,

I have scoured the web and usenet for an answer to this, but to no
avail. I just bought a used computer that has a Tyan 1854
motherboard. I have an old AGP video card (SiS 6326 chipset of some
sort) and figured I could use it to get dual monitor support.
(Currently there is a PCI Voodoo3 installed.) But with both cards,
Window 2000 will hang before finishing booting. I thought I would
just change the BIOS to boot with the PCI card rather than the AGP,
but I couldn't find such a setting in the BIOS! Does anyone know if
that setting is hiding in there under some less than typical name, or
am I SOL?

Thanks for any suggestions,

Owen

My s1854 bios has a setting for agp/pci "display first" under
peripherals. You might also try moving the pci card to different slots.
