I have an Nvida graphics card installed and what i need is,

When i installed the graphics card the onboard graphics was automatically disabled.I need the enable the Onboard graphics too.How can i dothat.The card is PCI Express 16x card.

When i connected an old PCD Graphics card ,i was able to connect 2 monitors one on the NVida PCI Express Card and other on the old PCI Graphics Card.

So how can i enable the Onboard Graphics card and do work on that and the NVida card Together.

I don't think you can & I don't know why you'd want to. Doesn't your PCI-E card support more than one monitor?

I'm not up to speed with PCI Express, but with its predecessor, AGP you could only have one AGP graphics card as AGP is a single device BUS, unlike standard PCI.

Is PCI Express the same?
