I have a old dell desktop. It's a optiplex 760 and the bios that is included with it does not support multiple video cards running at the same time. I have checked the Dell website and they do not have a bios upgrade to one that will give me the option to open up both slots. I was wondering if I can upgrade my bios as if my desktop was a later model optiplex? I have two video cards, one is an ATI HD 3450 that is in the PCI.e x 16 slot and the other one is the ATI Rage Xl that is in the PCI port.
I would even be happy using the on board graphics and the HD 3450 if possible. \
My goal is to run 3 monitors simultaneously, but I do not want to use the usb external video cards since In my experience they seem to lag a lot if you try to run anything above notepad on the monitor.
System Specs
Processor Intel core 2 quad q6600
Video card (1st) ATI Radeon HD 3450 PCI.e x 16
video card (2nd) ATI XL Rage PCi
ram 8 gb ddr2
brand Dell
Power supply 305 watts (OEM)
any help would be greatly appreciated!!!
