I have a Nvidia Geforce 6600, my monitor is plugged in, and my tv into the s-video input.

I'm wondering if I install another video card (ATI Rage XL PCI) would I be able to plug a second monitor into this? I want to have a dual display.. and then put windows media center screen on my tv.

if it's possible at all.
 
Ummm....I don't think you can have an ATI card and an Nvidia card on the same mb. I don't know for sure though since you're talking about a regular pci slot card.
 
how would I go about doing that?

I don't want to buy the "TripleHead2Go" thing, as I already have a setup that I'm trying to configure to work if it's possible.

right now my monitor/tv are working fine (plugged into nvidia)

but the second video card won't install correctly.. it's showing a caution flag in device manager. I tried downloading the driver installation from ATI.com but it says it has conflicts with the current video or something.. I think it's trying to install the driver on the nVidia driver possibly.

any ideas?
 
Are you sure you downloaded the rage driver? it's different from the radeon driver.

Also try moving it to a different PCI slot and see if that helps.

right? - I have windowsxp mce
 
ahh man.

I just uninstalled the driver from device manager.. and reinstalled that.. restarted and it worked.. this is awesome. ahah.

thanks.
 
Solved already ... anyway. I'd like to add that you can have as many VGA cards in the system as you please - as long as every single one has "multi-VGA" capability. Really early PCI chips typically didn't have that, while about all post-1998 stuff should.
You'll notice when Windows says "Can't enable this device" even though all drivers are installed properly.
