I replaced a pcie x16 GeForce 8400GS and a PCI Radeon HD 9250 in my XP based box. To get more memory, I bought a Radeon HD5450. I can get one card or the other to work... but both don't. If it's a resource sharing issue, any thoughts on how to change settings would be most welcome... thanks a bunch!

Yeah... it is an older mobo. It has a couple PCI, a PCIe x16 and a PCIe x1. I believe it has an AGP slot as well. I'm really not looking to upgrade the system but have been spoiled by 4 monitors. I may need to put the nvidia card back in.

Thanks a lot for your help.

Just wanted to add. My mobo also has a PCIE x1 slot. I found an HD 5450 that'll fit in the x1 slot. It appears to have crossfire and all the goodies... I'd guess that having 2-5450's would work.
