Ok I have a HUGE HUGE HUGE dilemma. I MEAN HUGE.
Ok my rig first:
Amd Athlon 700@900mhz
Abit KT7-raid mobo
Geforce2 GTS 32mb

Ok basically I am trying to get a dual monitor setup going, its much easier for my animation. Basically I have this little S3 Virge PCI vid card laying around.

I install the PCI card, as well as the AGP Geforce2 is installed. In the bios I set the primary display to AGP. When I boot into windows, only the AGP display turns on.

When I set PCI to the primary display in the bios I get both monitors working. BUT, my AGP card fails to perform as highly as it should, it basically stinks afterwards, and I have to return to just one monitor.

Is there ANYTHING I CAN DO?

(please dont tell me to get another vid card, lol)

thanks :)

Not all Video card can run as secondary display and a video use as secondary display have its advance feature disabled. I would suggest to get a newer PCI video card that can be use as secondary display or get a video card that support dual monitor.
