Bill, The BIOS has a default built-in. That would be the slot carrying your original PCI video card. There are multiple PCI slots on the motherboard so adding another PCI card to any of them should be OK. The problem is with AGP (Advanced Graphics Port), the new INTC design. "Most" new BIOS still default back to that 1st PCI slot when multi monitors are installed and won't allow AGP to be anything except secondary. Secondary cards lose graphics accelerator properties that came built into the AGP. Alan (who's waiting for his 2nd monitor to be delivered)
