    Hello everyone!

    I am currently running WinXP Home and use an ATI Radeon 7000 w/ 64MB (AGP) - I still have my old video card which is just an old generic 8MB video card (nothing special at all).

    Currently I can output to my display AND extend my desktop to a television via my video out connector on the Radeon. However, we all know that television resolution isn't good for much where computers are concerned.

    I want to install my old video card (PCI) and use that to drive my old monitor while keeping my AGP Radeon in at the same time.. Does anyone know if this is possible, or will it cause conflicts or anything?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated, and thanks in advance!

    -Don

    Suggest you go to 'Help & Support' and search for Dual monitor - all the information you need is there!

    As for conflicts - always possible, but s_uck it and see.

    I have not run two monitors this way - I use a dual head Matrox G550 card, but it is a feature of Windows to use 2 video cards, so no reason why it shouldn't work.
