I have encountered boards which, having had a pci vga card in use, refuse 
to see the agp card under any circumstances no matter what the "Init 
Display first" setting is in the BIOS.   Urrgh.  Sometimes I find myself 
playing "Mr Potato Head" with a whole roomful of components, mobos etc 
until I have a machine that functions as required.

But I tell you - we have Windows (all versions), Netware and Linux 
running on server and desktop and I can honestly say that Linux is the 
only one that happily accomodates whatever hardware combination I throw 
it at.  It also never inflicts that unique Windows trap of installing 
happily but crashing solid on use.
