I was just glancing through BIOS when I saw that it said that my primary graphics adapter was PCI. I can switch it to AGP which is wut my video card is. Should I? Or does graphics adapter mean something else?
 
That setting is just to toggle which video card---in the event that you'd have a PCI and AGP video card in the same system---would get displayed on first. By default, it's PCI.
 
Not really. I always set it to AGP if I have one installed, but I've never seen any difference in any sort of speed (at least that's measurable). Now, I suppose you might notice a difference with a warm boot and/or a cold boot with an LCD instead of a CRT monitor as far as seening something on the screen sooner, but that's just a guess.
 
i don't know if it does anything different if you set it to AGP or PCI in my expireince (you know what i mean) it doesn't particulally matter what you set it to, but i set it as to whichever gfx i'm using
