Re: Dual Displays, 2 Graphic chips

the easiest and cheapest way to accomplish this is to buy a cheap pci video card. like it was said before plugging in your agp card disables your on-board video.

i run an ati video card and a simple and cheap nvidia pci card to run dual monitors in windows xp. unfortunately the on-board video feature is useless. good luck getting it up and running! its extra sweet when you get it working right......especially when you can run autocad on one monitor and inventor on another. perfect for robot design!
