>>As far as I know the AGP and PCI slot video adapters are not interchangeable. Please correct me if I am wrong. Physically the slots look exactly the same but functionally are different. I was all wet. AGP and PCI slots are not physically similar. The following news group posting corrects my error. >> Will an AGP video adapter plugged into a PCI slot still work? Similarly will a PCI video adapter plugged into a AGP slot still work? Of course you loose the AGP functionality of the AGP slot if you do this. But in a mutltimonitor configuration there is an advantage in being able to do this as it allows you to control which video adapter is the primary adapter and which video adapter is the secondary adapter. << No and no. The slots are physically different. The closest you'll get to this is with Jazz's Bonnie & Clyde card, which has both AGP and PCI connectors (you just flip the card over). Frank Garcia
