I would really appreciate some help with my current problem. Here is what I have... Dell Optiplex 280 with onboard AGP disabled (2) Radeon 9250 ATI PCI video cards (3) Dell 1704FPT monitors - 2 connected to 1 video card by DVI and VGA and the 1 connected to the other by VGA UltraMon...

That helps me somewhat sabregen, but you'll have to excuse my continued ignorance on the multiple video card thing. OK, again assuming 2 Radeon 9250's. The 1st card is set to "stretched" across 2 monitors at 2048 x 768. The 2nd card would run 1 monitor at 1024 x 768. My question is, how...

Thanks again everyone. I do have a couple more questions about installing a 2nd video card and how that would work. Again, assume I add a 2nd ATI Radeon 9250 and I plug in one additional monitor on that card. Would I be able to have a "stretched" display across all 3 monitors or would it have...

Thanks for the responses. I don't have any experience with running multiple video cards. Would I be best served by buying another ATI Radeon 9250 PCI card? Would I be able to then stretch my display over 3, or even possibly 4 screens at that point? Now, the ATI control panel only lists...

First, I want to thank those who responded to my previous questions about PCI video cards and dual monitors. Second, I've only had dual monitors for a little over a day now and I am ready for a third monitor already. How would that work though? Here is what I have... ATI Radeon 9250 PCI...

OK, bought a new Radeon 9250 PCI video card to install on my Dell Optiplex GX280 that had previously run on integrated AGP. Installed and I get a black screen upon rebooting except for 2 white pixels at the very top of my display. Switched back to AGP and installed drivers then repeated process...

I don't have a "low profile" tower however this one looks similar to the 3D Fuzion. Would it work even though it is a "low profile" video card in a regular sized tower? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814241031

I found this one on newegg.com. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814143038 It is just the 3DFR6200, not the 3DFR6200P. Is there a difference? Would this one work? EDIT --- NEVERMIND. THE 6200 IS AGP, NOT PCI. I'D NEED A PCI. ANY SUGGESTIONS?

A few months ago several of you recommended the 3D Fuzion Geforce 6200 3DFR6200P video card from newegg.com. I bookmarked that product but it appears that they no longer sell it. Here was my situation... I want to hook up a second monitor to my Dell Optiplex GX280 that currently uses an...

OK bear with me now because this may seem like a dumb question to some of you. Let's take the 3D fuzion video card for example. It has one DVI port and one VGA port. If I want to run 2 Dell 1907FP monitors, which come with both DVI-D and VGA cables, do I... a) Hook one up to DVI and one up...

Will those video cards provide comparable or better quality/performance than my current integrated Intel 845G/GL video card?

I have a Dell 2350 with integrated AGP Intel 845G/GL. I can only add a PCI video card (not express) or replace the motherboard. I am doing this to add a second monitor to my system. I'm not a gamer so the increased performance isn't really my goal although I would obviously not like to see a...
