So here's the deal,

I currently have a X1800xt, but it doesn't support aspect scaling so low native res games look horrible on my 20.1" ws. What I want to do is put in an old 5200FX pci I have lying around (so i can play Starcraft & Diablo2 properly scaled on the monitor).

So is putting in the card and installing the forceware drivers on a machine already running an ati card w/ catalyst giong to cause any problems? I want to be able to swap the moitor between the 2 as needed.

Just give it a shot.

If it doesn't work, you can always reinstall everything.
