After my earlier question I think the best way to get a dueal display would be to use another PCI video card alongside my Radeon X300 (AGP).

Is there anything i should know about before trying to insert another PCI card ad just hoping it will work? The OS is Windows XP Media Center.

I read some stuff about not being able to use two vga cards toghether or something...


Thanks for your help!
 
You can use two cards together without any issues - I currently run an AGP X800Pro & a PCI 9250 together

Just plug in the second card, re-install the drivers and enable it through windows. (Right click on the desktop and select "Properties". Choose the output on the second card and check "Extend my desktop to this monitor").
 
Not all card combinations will work. I think I tried 3 different pci cards before I got a working combination.

But if you already got a pci card, then give it a shot :)
