I would ask you why you have a Diamond Stealth 3D 2000 as a second video card in your Athlon 750 system, but I'm afraid my head may explode after hearing the answer.

Cause it's a second video card. It's not like I can play Quake 3 on my second monitor anyway. I have to disable it when I play Quake 3 cause Quake 3 doesn't know what to do with it.

gotta say the athlon.

i hate the celeron despite having 2 of those.

the k6-3 is cool, i liked the "L3" cache thing, but the core was WEAK!

Why what? Why do I have two monitors? Well it cool and I get twice the desktop area. I can surf the net on one and watch TV on the other.

My K6-3 system is cool. It's really a K6-3+ (plus). It was designed for laptops. It's got a .18 micron(the K6-3 has a .25 micron) and it runs at 2.0v(the K6-3 runs at 2.6v I think). So these chips are very overclockable. I can't overclock it though cause I got it as an upgrade and my motherboard can't handle anything over 450MHz. But I might get a used super7 motherboard on e-bay or something and overclock it.

Oh nevermind. Your question answered mine. I thought you were actually using it for something other than dual monitor support :p

Are you crazy? No way! That's like sticking a 2x cd-rom in my system and use it for something other than maybe playing music cds. (ok bad analogy but you get my point)
