This motherboard supports Multi Monitor upgrade. With the internal onboard VGA and the external add-on PCI Express VGA card, you can easily enjoy the benefits of Multi Monitor feature. If you plan to enable the function of onboard VGA, please enter the option “Share Memory” of BIOS to adjust the memory capability to [16MB], [32MB], [64MB], or [128MB]. Please note that the value you select should be less than the total capability of the system memory. The default value of “Share Memory” is [Auto], which will disable onboard VGA function when installing VGA card. After setting up BIOS, you can install VGA cards and VGA card drivers to enjoy multi-monitors.
