View Full Version : Which is better, onboard VGA or AGP card !!
I have a new motherboard that provides integrated onboard VGA (64Mb). I also
have a AGP 4X card (32Mb) that can plug into the AGP slot on the board. My
question is I know AGP card will normally run better/faster graphics, but
will the higher 64Mb of the integrated onboard supercede this Norm? Is there
some suggested program I can use to test (besides playing video games)?
Thanks.

The onboard will use 64mb of your ram, whereas the agp will use it's own,
just something else to bear in mind.

I have far enough ram available. If this is not a constraint, will the
onboard video (64 Mb) or the AGP (32Mb) works better/faster Normally? Thanks.

Use them one at a time and run your own tests
