I installed an ati rage lt pro pci video card, the instructions said to uninstall old (intigrated) drivers, so I did just that. I then realized I could have extended desktop with my tv out from the rage if I had two video "cards". Reinstalled the intigrated graphics drivers (NVidia) and voila - extended desktop to television. It took some tweaking but now it is perfect, except that the boot menu comes up on the television - even when it is off or disconnected. The primary monitor is totally blank until the computer logo then windows loads. I tried to uninstall and reinstall the rage drivers, but it reaked havoc and at one point I had the cursor on the tv only and the task bar on the monitor. very scary indeed. Had to do sys restore which worked from the keyboard thank god. Is there any way of fixing this or do intigrated chips always take the back seat during boot??? thanks in advance, I kindof doubt anyone can answer this but it was worth a shot I suppose.

There may be an option in the BIOS setup that specifies which display adapter is primary (AGP, PCI) but usually that's not something you can control. In most cases an installed video card will pre-empt the integrated port. But you can freely configure which screen is right/left side for Windows...
