    might not - try the option 'first bootup card -pci or agp' or something

    failing that, just disable the onboard in windows and you'll be left with no vid on bootup but it'll come on with windows

    I've looked about and it isn't, you can disable the windows driers but you still loose 16mb ram , ah well
