Do you use multiple monitors off a PCI with the 98/97 AIW for your main?

One of my buddies has the 9800AIW and no matter what he does, he can't get it to play nice with his geforce 2 pci.

I use my 9800 non pro to drive my primary and my 9000 pci to drive my two secondaries. I now have a chance to swap for a new 9800 AIW on the cheap :D

does anyone else have problems using these ATi TV tuners with secondary PCI video cards, ATi or otherwise???

Despite all of the problems I've been hearing about, I took the plunge and upgraded. The AIW plays very well with the Audigy2ZS BUT the TV tuner refuses to respond to either ATi's MMC or 3rd party apps like dscaler when the monitors attached to the pci video card are enabled. I was able to trick it once after installing the drivers, but when I rebooted to install the remote drivers, I lost the capacity again. As I said, I have friends with similar problems on the 98AIW and I am looking for input. Anyone else have this problem?
