Hi All! I recently received a AN430TX board I ordered from Ebay. The seller had specified onboard VGA, but the pictures were for the version with no onboard VGA. I went ahead and bit, as all my other old systems have various generations of Sound Blasters, and I was interested in the onboard Yamaha OPL and wavetable on this board. Plus I never had a Pentium MMX/430TX system back in the day. I went from a Shuttle HOT 557 430VX/P133 to a Shuttle HOT 603 AMD 640(VIA)/K6-200 system.
My question is this for anyone who has one of these boards, how does the onboard ATI Rage behave with a PCI video card installed in the system? I have a feeling I'm going to have to deal with the jankiness of a disabled VGA adapter in Win95 device manager, but I was hoping someone could give me some good news that the onboard video will automagically disable itself. There are no jumpers or BIOS options that I could find in the manual. I would just find out for myself, but I'm not going to have the processor or RAM for a few more days. My stash is light on P1 era hardware. TIA.
