    OK, I am back at this again. Previous post= http://www.windowsbbs.com/windows-xp/86053-help-dual-video-cards.html#post473488

    Long story short, I am trying to find a second video card that will work with my newly purchased nVidia GeForce 9800GT, PCIe 16x 512MB DDR3.

    This is the card that I have:
    http://www.amazon.com/EVGA-512-P3-N...1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1257866131&sr=1-1

    The problem is that I can't find any DDR3 dual output graphics card that uses anything less than a PCIe 16x slot, of which I only have one on my Dell 9150:

    Has anyone ever heard of a dual output DDR3 graphics card that will work in a 4x slot or is this physically (or PCIe architecture) impossible?

    There are a few cards you can buy that are PCI these days.

    This Matrox card looks like it could fit the bill as from what I can see you have one PCI X1 slot on the board.

    PCI Express X1 Graphics Card

    Also from reading your other post, have you checked your machines BIOS is up to date.

    That is one of the first things I would look at in your case.
