I have a dual monitor system using a pci and an agp card. Is there a way to get the computer to reconize the agp card first and then the pci card during bootup? I'd like the agp card to be the primary because it has more memory.
 
It doesn't matter, and I've seen switching to AGP as primary in the BIOS (which is where you'd do it) cause problems.

Don't sweat it, just tell Windows which card is your primary.

How do you tell windows which card you want as the primary? I thought it was which ever it sees first during bootup, which in my case is the pci card.
 
Well, it depends. If you're on 2K/XP, right click on your desktop, select properties, click the Settings tab, click the display you want to be primary, then check the "extend my windows desktop onto this monitor" (if not checked), and finally, click "Use this device as my primary monitor."
