Installing two separate video cards???

coolz · November 25th, 2006, 09:36 PM

Ok i have a fx5500 vga,vga,dvi video card..
And i have a mx4000 vga,dvi video card..
The fx5500 is installed and working great , but i want to have three monitors..
Would be wise or even possible to install the mx4000 to get what i want??

Ok now i got a sequence of 1,3,2 in my monitors the Mx4000 for some reason wants to be my second monitor..
1 5500
3 4000
2 5500
How do i fix it so its 1,2,3 ???
1 5500
2 5500
3 4000

Yeah i tried that once i found an old AGP nvidia card , plugged it in and i swear i saw it smoking.. lol So im kinda leary about putting another card on it...

Actually i read the Syntax book and it didnt say anything about video cards..

But it does support 3.4ghz processors or better.. I guess thats next, and it supprts 4 gigs of memory..

I guess i'm just a believer in (Better Safe than Sorry)....

Thanks for all your help...
