  | Are they both PCI video cards? or one pci an one agp! onboard or what? You dont give enough specs... But if its 2 pci cards. its a IRQ problem.. Play with your irqs you will get it... or simpley just take out the card an turn the pc on.. turn it back off and put the card back in!  should work..Matt

  | Try something other than an S3 card, I had nothing but issues with every S3 I ever had, except my onboard UniChrome on my DFI AZ-30 TL. Try something else like a Rage Pro Turbo or a 3dfx Voodoo 3 PCI. I reccomend the first one, the V3 throws out more heat than the TNT2, even though it whoops the TNT2's ass in everything else. |

| Ok, I only used that one kuz I found it around my house. I asked TYCOON and he said he has an old PCI vid card(AIW) laying around I could try, said I'd be able to hook my PS2 up to it and play on my comp. He's real nice.

| Its nice to have a X800Pro Dual monitors all day no problems or worries! I would just sell both of them cards buy a new one or something good with a CRT and DVI on the card and just run duals like that.. its much easyer trust me.. You can pick up a Geforce 4 Fx5200 Ultra that will smash both them cards an has a dvi on the card too for about 50 bucks. Look into it Matt

| EDIT: I got it working, using the ATI Rage 3D All-In-Wonder (16MB, 8 base plus 8 additional) but I had to set it up as my primary in the BIOS, but in windows my tnt2 is my primary (best one I have lolz.) In order to actually get it working I had to do some umplugging, booting, replugging in, and a bunch of other stuff so the BIOS would actually accept it as the primary card.
