The bios has only two options, they are "Onboard/AGP or PCI Slot"
there is no way to change "Onboard/AGP" to "AGP/Onboard".
My understanding of this is that if the monitor cable was fitted to
the VGA of the on-board video, the on-board would be used. If the
cable was fitted onto the card VGA connector the AGP would be
selected.
