Default Integrated video with AGP

Is it possible to run a duel monitor setup with integrated video and an agp card? I think they both run on the same bus, so it's either one or the other, but I'm not positive. The on board video is from the 8185-E3U or ThinkCenter m50 The agp card ...

Default Integrated video with AGP

Is it possible to run a duel monitor setup with integrated video and an agp card? I think they both run on the same bus, so it's either one or the other, but I'm not positive.

The on board video is from the 8185-E3U or ThinkCenter m50
The agp card is a Nvidia Vanta

In the bios I can set the primary video to either integrated, agp or pci. When I switch between integrated and agp it boots up on that screen respectivily. Although when xp boots up it will only show the video card it's on, and the other doesn't show up in the device manager. I've upgraded the bios to the latest version.

Thanks in advance.

Don't think so, you need a graphics card with dual output.

I'm pretty sure when you plug in a standalone video card the on-board output is automatically disabled.

And you're welcome.
