Is it possible to add a pci-e video card to this system and still

both and I need three vgas. The bios offers three choices for the
initial video ie vga/pci/pcie defaulting to pci-e. In this mode the
presence of pci-e seems to disable the onboard vga automatically. Can
this be defeated?

When you install a PCI-E video card, the
system�s BIOS automatically disables the onboard VGA. This default
action is meant to avoid conflicts between the two display options.

However, there might be a workaround. Instead of a PCI-E video card,
you could use a PCI video card. Some systems allow the onboard VGA to
function alongside a PCI card if the BIOS is set to "Auto"
or "PCI" mode. This setup could potentially enable you to
have three VGA outputs.
