can a pci-e based system run a second pci card ?
Subject pretty well is my question...I have an HP Media Cnter with a
pci-e geforce card as the display adapter...I want to add a second video card (PCI in open slot) but I have been told atFry's that any second card will disable the first pci-e card ? Is it possible to have two video cards on the same pci-e based computer system ? Thanks., Tim |

They told you nonsense at Fry's... Is it possible to have two video cards on the same pci-e based computer system ? Yes, it is. Usually there is a BIOS setting that lets you choose which card will be the primary adapter. If your BIOS doesn't have this setting then the priority is set after the slot numbering (which means your PCIe gfx card will be primary). Benjamin |
