In about 15 minutes i'm going to try setting up dual monitors. My primary video card that i'm running right now is a Asus GeForce 2 64 mb and i'm planning on putting in a Rage II PCI, not sure the specs on it, i got it for free somewhere or another. Is there anything important i need to know/do or can i just put the other video card in, hook up the second monitor, and boot up? Any help or advice is appreciated. I just want to make sure i do this right. Thanks
 
I don't have any experience with dual monitor setups, but I think Geek.com does a pretty good explanation. That setup is for Windows 98, but it should be basically the same for Windows2000 and XP. Hope this helps.
 
I don't have any experience with dual monitor setups, but Geek.com does a pretty good explanation of how to do so. That page shows how to do it in Windows 98, but it should be about the same in your situation. Hope this helps.
 
hey, i put in the card, XP Pro found it, and the driver dont work 🙁

ATI Technologies Inc. 3D Rage IIC PCI

any ideas on where i can get a driver for this card for Windows XP??? must get this to work, i have another card, but its older i THINK, not even sure what kind it is
 
Back when I needed to do real work, I did have a dual monitor setup in Windows 98 - and it's pretty much as you describe it. Install your AGP card first, then stick in a PCI adaptor - and as long as it is multi-monitor compatible, the PCI card will be recognized as a secondary adaptor.

 
ATI says to use the drivers that came with Windows XP. However, you said that the drivers do not work...give that old one a shot. You never know unless you try. 🙂
 
XP has native support for that card. ATI does not have drivers for the Rage IIC in Win XP on their website.
 
ok, here's the deal, i tried to reinstall the driver, says there's no other driver.

tried to go in and reinstall it manually, says this:

This device cannot start. (Code 10)

Suppose the video card is junk? I dont remember if i had it in a computer or if it was given to me by a friend. I'm not really sure about it.

Recommended Driver for WIN XP:

5.1.2505.0

my driver:

5.1.2535.0

Why is that? How am i supposed to get this other driver? Please help.
