OS= Windows ME
Processor = Duron 700
MB = Asus A7V
1st video card ATI Rage Fury 128 AGP with s-video out
2nd card = SiS PCI card

The customer needs the system to boot from the PCI card so they can show stuff like Power Point shows on the S-video (TV).

WIN will use the AGP card as primary and the PCI card as secondary with no problem. The other way around, though, will not work.

Any suggestions? The PCI card is not in slot 1. The BIOS is set to PCI as first card.

Only thing I can suggest is that every time I've ever tried it, ATI cards will not function properly as secondary video card. would suggest picking up ap different video card. you should be able to get a voodoo 3 at a good price now. I know they will work. Also, you may run into difficulties if the secondary card is AGP, but I can't be certain on that. I do know that 3dfx PCI cards will work fine, as should TNT or TNT2 cards.

Actually, I tried several AGP cards and none seemed to work as a secondary card. I guess my only option is to get an older technology PCI TV-out card and use it. Guess the modern stuff just can't do the job.
