Actually, Zeus, that VGA option is automatically listed after a normal NT installation, whether it is single or multi-boot. At least that's been my experience in tons of installations. You actually have to intentionally remove it from the .ini file to get rid of it. As you experienced, it is a MUST have. You can equate it with the "safe mode" from 95/98.

zp Single boot NT setups boot directly to NT without the option. How does one boot VGA in a standard single boot setup? My nt install from Jon had the option from day 1. Clarence

Wonder if anyone is running 3 monitors on a system with BH6 motherboard. Just got my new assembly from TC Computers. No problem with putting on the first 2, one of which is on a Matrox Millenium card in AGP slot, & the other on an ATI card in the most outboard PCI slot next to the AGP slot. When I add a 3rd card (also ATI, like the 2nd one) in the next PCI slot, the 3rd monitor comes online, with the first, but knocks out the 2nd monitor so I still only have 2 functioning monitors. Their tech support suggests that this motherboard won't run 3 monitors!! Any comments would be appreciated. BTW I decided not to go for the overclocking, but it does appear to be very easy to change the setting in the BIOS. Thank you. d.alexander p.s. Just heard back from TC computers who had checked with Abit. The BH6 will not take more than 2 video cards operating simultaneously. So, I will return the assembly & start over. End of that part of the story.
