Video Card "problem"

[Guest]

I am using Win XP with SP2. When I look at My Computer, Properties,
Hardware, Device Manager, Display Adapters, I have two entries for my Radeon
9200 card. The first being Radeon 9200 Series and the second being Radeon
9200 Series - Secondary.
Should the second entry be there? Can I safely remove it?
Thanks

This is perfectly normal as newer cards use two RAMDACs chips for
multiple monitor outputs. It will always list two cards unless you
disable the second output, but it is perfectly normal as it is.
