Radeon PCI + Radeon AGP = Win2k dual display???

[smp]

Can this work? I currently have an AGP radeon All in Wonder in my rig... I've just recieved my PCI radeon and I want to run dual display .. is this possible w/ two of the same card? What drivers need be installed? Any?
What do I have to do to make windows understand that I want dual monitor .. I've never done this before, any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks....

I don't see why not!

Plug it in and install -- should be all that's to it. AFAIR there is a problem that one would lose ViVo or AiW functions on the secondary card, but since the AiW is on the AGP should be no probs.

WICKED!!!

I just went ahead and threw the PCI radeon in there, hooked up the other monitor and off of boot it just worked. Didn't have to install anymore drivers or anything.. SWEET!

I just noticed that TV isn't working (on my radeon AIW)

If you primary card is the AGP and it is the AIW, TV should work on the AGP-driven display. *NO* DirectX/multimedia/super-spiffy application will run on the second display. MS Word, a web browser, and simpler programs are fine on the second display.

BTW, you didn't have to install drivers because you are using the same chip.

Nice!

BTW, are there any Radeon PCI (or any PCI card) with a decent DVI out?

 

[odog]

maybe a matrox?

Well, the guy I bought the card from begged me to buy it back. Being the nice guy that I am I agreed. The card is no more, dual display is no more
Oh well, I didn't really have two monitors anyways and my dad was starting to wonder where his went.

Matrox G550 has dual DVI-out but it only comes in AGP.
