i'm just curious if anyone here has experience with this.

if your agp card can support 2 monitors... could you put in a simple pci card that also supports 2 monitors and have 4 going? i have an ati 7500 64mb pci card with dual monitor support and wonder if i throw it in with my 9700 how it might work.

it is currently running in my parents computer to replace their integrated graphics port. somehow someone re-enabled the integrated video and i can run 2 monitors of the 7500 and one of the integrated with no problems.

i'm thinking of getting the geforce fx5200 256mb pci card (since it is DX 9 compatible unlike the current ati pci cards which are only DX 8) as an upgrade to my parents comp. so i'm also curious if it would work with my computer but figure there would be driver conflicts between the ATI and Geforce drivers.

it would be pretty neato for Flight Sim 2004 although that would be even more money spent on the power bill...

 

I know that in XP multi monitor support is native. I'm currently running three monitors via two Nvidia 5200 cards -- 1 pci, 1 agp. I can do 4 monitors but I ran out of room on the desk

 

you may run out of Free IRQ's or resources. Ive run 3 monitors without any problems, Im currently 2 right now. (3 monitors eats up allot of room on my desk)

Also sometimes you can run into compatibiliy issues where two network cards dont want to work together, ( I had this issue with my ATI All in wonder and a Geforce card)


Plug and Pray baby. Its the only way
