i have a MSI KT3 Ultra-ARU and i am trying to run dual monitors. I have an AGP All in wonder radeon 7500 and a PCI nvidia 2 64 (something like that). The thing is, when i turn the computer on, it posts to the monitor connected to the PCI card. How do i make the main monitor the AGP and the optional second monitor off the pci?

please lmk

There is normaly a BIOS setting to change which card is primary. Right now it's probably set to auto, change it to AGP. I know some PCI cards need to be set to primary to work correctly.
 
True. Your nVidia card probably needs to run as the [Primary Init Adapter] (or something like that) in the BIOS. You can then specify the Radeon as the primary card in Windows, though.

There is a list of older PCI cards that don't need to be the primary cards in the BIOS. There should be a link somewhere on the forums - do a search here or in Google. The Matrox G200 PCI is a popular, inexpensive one, but good luck finding one. I bought mine on eBay.
