All in Wonder as secondary video card

[EdipisReks]

i have the chance to buy a Rage 128 based all-in-wonder PCI for really cheap (about $10) and i was wondering if i could set this up as a secondary video card and still use the TV-tuner. anyone know? if it works, could i only use the TV on the monitor it's plugged into, or would it display tv on the main monitor as well? thanks.

As I recall, the TV tuner only works as the primary display. So, if you want to use the PCI card as your primary display, then you can watch TV.

Since the TV image is an overlay, I'm fairly sure that it'll only display on the monitor attached to the card.

This is true, I am using the AIW 128 Rage 128 PCI in my PIII system and I have to set it as the primary in the bios to be able to use the multimedia functions and you can only have the TV on the monitor that it is attached to.
