ok, first of all, i did a search but this is the only thread i found that's related::

i don't have an AIW, so i don't know how much it really matters... i assume it's a similar situation...

would i need to change anything in the bios?

so here's the story:
i got a dual setup running on ati 9600 pro... got an extra crt lying around and an extra pci slot to fill...
can i throw in a pci video card and get a triple monitor setup going?

(thinking of something really cheap, but would the amount of memory matter if i got something like an ati 7000?)

thanks for any help~
 
Does mixing videocard companies matter?

and how much would that card that you recommend cost?
I"m not looking to spend too much~
 
No it won't matter with Matrox but I have had some probs combining NVidia with ATI ...others have reported success however.
You cold post a WTB thread @ the FS/FT Forums and get 1 for under $20US I would think + I have seen them on line for around that price...Google search would be 1 nother thought

Check your wallet 1st to see if you can afford to lose your current Graphics card and shell out $350US then loose some performance in 3D compared with your 9600
:roll:
 
does having a really crappy pci card matter?
like is it gonna be a bad display?

i was thinking about an ati 7000 or nvidia geforce2 ~

just wondering if ati in agp and nvidia in pci are gonna conflict or something...

are tnt2's for pci still around?

i won't be playing games on the monitor that's hooked up to it...
 
I have a matrox G450 PCI that I could sell you for $40 shipped that way if you ever want to you could go quad monitor Muhahahaha
