Intel Extreme onboard integrated graphics: can be used with VGA/PCIboard?
Since there is no Intel-oriented video card group, this is the next
best thing. My question pertains to a Soyo motherboard (SY-P4I845PE/GVISA Plus) with Intel 845PE/GV chipset. I believe this chipset has an integrated video controller with 8 mb of video memory (this component seems to be called "Intel Extreme Graphics"). I belive that my question may very well pertain to any motherboard with an Intel Extreme Graphics component that is part of the motherboard. My question is this: Is it possible for the Intel Extreme graphics adapter to be functional under Windows XP in addition to a PCI-mounted video card? I say PCI because the Soyo motherboard in this case does not have an AGP slot (and it doesn't have PCI-express either). I recently installed an ATI Radeon 9250 PCI video card into the above Soyo motherboard and tried to get the on-board Intel adapter to function, but it simply wouldn't drive a monitor when the ATI was active. The ATI board has dual monitor support, and when bringing up the configuration window it appeared to know that there was a third monitor available to it (which was the on-board Intel Extreme) - but it wouldn't let me set the display resolution (it was something like -1 x -1 instead of the typical 640 x 480, etc). So my experience so far is that given a motherboard with an integrated Intel Extreme graphics adapter, that adapter can't function as a secondary display adapter when another adapter is plugged into a PCI slot. Is this true? PS: The Soyo wouldn't boot unless I had the ATI Radeon card plugged into the second PCI slot. When plugged into the first PCI slot, the machine wouldn't even post. What's up with that? |

I *think* these two are related, and depend on the BIOS. I have a PC with Intel Extreme graphics and there are a couple of options in the BIOS but they are very simple and amount to 'do you want to use on-board graphics or not'. I am sure there are some PC's where you can use both (a SOYO group may be able to help). Re-boot and go into the BIOS and see what options you have. -- Jeff Gaines Damerham Hampshire UK |

You are correct. You can ONLY run the onboard video chip OR the PCI video
card at one time. -- DaveW ---------------- "Intel Guy" wrote in message ... Since there is no Intel-oriented video card group, this is the next best thing.

You are correct. You can ONLY run the onboard video chip OR the PCI video card at one time. I'll bet that a dual head setup is VERY possible as long as you're running XP or 2K. I've got an old setup with a 845G motherboard, and an add-on Matrox PCI card running dual desktop. Drivers are more likely to be the OP's problem. |
