I've noticed this option in BIOS refering to graphic adapter. One can choose PCI or AGP. Selecting PCI doesn't seem to affect graphic card performance. I am wonderng if this option allows us to insert a mPCI graphic card and use it instead of good 'ol savage ? Do such mPCI cards/accelerators exist ?

There is no "grapic card" in the T23. There is a GPU that is soldered to the system board. The only way to use a graphics card is to get the Dock II (or III I can't remember). A graphics card can be inserted into the dock and be utilized.

should be noted that the slot to accomodate the graphics card in the dock is a PCI slot. If you choose "PCI" in the bios, it will bypass the S3 video chip inside the T2x series on bootup and go directly to the external PCI graphics card.

AGP is referring to the S3 chip, as it is on the T2x's internal AGP bus.

There is no "grapic card" in the T23.

its still a dedicated graphics subsystem - and no, there is no option for a mpci graphics card. never existed, doubt it would work even if it did.

I was refering to the PCI graphic card for the docking station.
