All AGP graphics adapters used on Non-Intel AGP Chipset motherboards.When using an AGP/VGA with non-Intel chipset system, please make sure that the latest version of the M/B chipset manufacturer’s AGP Drivers for Windows 95/98 has been installed. You need to install the AGP driver to utilize the AGP function. You may download an appropriate AGP driver for your system for free at the Web sites provided below. Please follow the instructions given from M/B manufacturers’ “Readme” file for installation.
USB Supplement for Windows 95The Windows 95A (or OSR1) environment does not support AGP boards. You will need to update your OS to Windows 95B or higher.

If you want to add another VGA card in the Motherboard, how did you disable the VGA part that is on board or integrated with your system chips?Every Motherboard maker has different implements in setting up the display priority of the slots. If you add a PCI VGA card on a PCI VGA based board, there's no problem for the board to see your add-on card as the first display. If you add on a PCI VGA card on a AGP/Super AGP VGA based board, you will need to set up the display priority. Some of them will implement it in the BIOS, in the item "Integrated Peripheral", "Initial Display First", you can choose "PCI slot". However some other makers do the setting by jumpers, you need to refer to your manual or contact the makers for further help. After you finish the hardware part, you can remove the onboard VGA driver from your system. Please go to "Control Panel", "Add/Delete programs" to remove the driver. Please ignore the exclamation mark that appears in the Device Manager, if you have already install your second card successfully. It won't influence your VGA display.
Why I can only choose “800x600” or “640x480” for TV-out?This is because the maximum resolution for TV is 800x600 for PAL system and “640x480” for NTSC, you may need to lower the display resolution down to 800x600 to activate the TV-out control.
