Can I run an nvidia tnt2 m64 at the same time as a geforce2 mx?

[Joeschmoe]

I would like to run two monitors. I currently have a Jaton tnt2 m64 PCI. I would like to add to that a geforce2 mx or a radeon. Will it work? Would it help to buy a Jaton brand geforce2 mx?

I have an MSI KT133A mobo with a T-bird and 256 Mb of RAM.

The other option is to add Twinview on the Geforce2 mx (an extra $40 I don't have, but I could always sell the tnt2 m64 to get some of that). I know that the twinview on the gefoce isn't as full featured as that on the radeon VE, but I need 3d acceleration, so I would really prefer the geforce2 mx in that regard.

What do you think?

adding a mx card will allow you do run a dual monitor setup, and the brand doesnt make a difference

If you do use the TNT2 M64 and Geforce 2 MX, then use the same drivers for both video cards (the reference drivers from NVIDIA's web page).

Thanks for the tips. The scalable drivers should be a help in getting win98 to recognize both cards. But it might be worth it to save the PCI slot for something else, avoid the IRQ problems, and just get the Twinview... I'm not sure what I'll do, but I feel better about my options knowing that otehr people think the 2 vid-card setup will work.
Thanks.
