Hi
today i was browisuing through my BIOS and it showed the display adapter set as PCI E.
In the list there was INT VGA and PCI also. would there be any difference if i changed it to the others.
I dont have a GPU.
My mobo is ASUS P5sd2-vm

well, you are using IGP and don't have any Graphic card at the moment in your PC. It won't really make any difference to you.

If you choose PCI E then the system will select the PCI E graphics card if available,else it will use the onboard/integrated graphics chipset.
INT VGA=Integrated graphics chipset(Video/Visual Graphics Adapter to be precise).
PCI - Selects the PCI graphics card if you have any.
