I've owned a GeForce 4 MX420 for quite some time which I used for gaming. Just recently, I purchased an ATI All-in-Wonder 128, expecting this to work alongside my GeForce. Basically, I want to have both cards in the PC and use one for gaming (the GeForce) and the other for video (the ATI). Unfortunately, after I installed the ATI All-in-Wonder, Windows XP still recognized the GeForce as the only card in the system. Does this mean that I can only use one out of the two cards in my system at a time? Is there any way to use both?

PS. The GeForce is AGP and the ATI All-in-Wonder is PCI, in case it matters.

First, Wrong Forum. Second, Two video cards are not both reconized because the bios is set up to look at the AGP port and if somthing is there it does not continue its search into the PCI bus for a vid card. start-control panel-(in catagory view)Preformance and Maintenance-system(just system in clasic view). hardware tab device manager button and look for a yellow question mark. if it is a tab click on it and click on the device that says Unknown PCI Device. click on update drivers, and install the ATI's Drivers for it. If you see a Yellow Exclamation point by the All in Wonder, Its probibly an IRQ conflict
