My mother has a three monitor set up, and her two cards are ATI 7500 AGP and ATI 9200SE PCI. When I am over there, I like to be able to play a few games on her computer, so what would be the best setup for those two cards?

Getting her a real AGP card is down the road, perhaps after my next upgrade when I can just give her one of my cards...

Play off of the 7500 AGP as primary and put the other two monitors on the 9200SE PCI, or would making the PCI card the primary adapter be the best choice in this case?

Probably for gaming making the R9200 the primary card would be best, but that may mess with the triple monitor support with the AGP card not being primary. Best way to know for sure is to mess around with it a bit.

I'd say just get a laptop/DS/PSP and bring it there... >_>

If you ever do get an AGP upgrade for that computer like you were saying, if the machine is somewhere around 2 Ghz and 512 MB RAM, get a 9600 XT for it. Under $100 sometimes. Double digits are nice. =)
