I got this 9550xl and decided to put it in my mother's computer. She still had my old Ti4200. So I also added a pci 9200 card--she likes a three monitor display (she was using a Ti4200 agp and a MX400 GF2 pci).
I used a new driver for the 9550, but then discovered/remembered that the 9200 does not work with the newer drivers. I would have just used a basic windows driver but could not get it to work. So I downloaded the last driver that worked with the 8500-9200 series, 6.1 I think, and set it up for the 9200. Everything seemed fine when I left her house, but she called later and was getting freezing issues.
Sure, using two drivers two years apart in age seems stupid to me. Should I just use the 6.1 with both cards?
Any advice concerning this two video card set-up would be welcome.
She doesnot play games... my kids and i do sometimes when we are there. But for her, MSWord, Internet Explorer, Windows Media Player, Google Earth, Nero, and other software is about it. She rarely uses the 3rd monitor, but when she does, there is usually Word document up on it.
