    Using 2 Ati Graphics Cards on one system - help!

    Hi,

    I have an ATI Radeon X800GTO card that I use with 2 monitors attached (2 x 19" TFT). This card is AGP.

    I also have a second club 3D ati Radeon 9250 graphics card, which is pci and in slot 4. is there ANY way that I can use both graphics cards at the same time, as I want to have 3 monitors, maybe 4 in the future.

    Any help would be very much appreciated, or just a point in the right direction!

    Regards,

    Dave

    yes I have, and after setting the AGP card as the initial display adapter in my BIOS, the second card gets error code 43, which means it wont let it load the drivers - as far as I am aware. I am using Windows Vista Business 32-bit. THanks for your quick response!

    googled error 43?

    some cards won't work together and others will. Never tried AGP and PCI though.
