ATI/nVidia drivers + Vista

[digital_exhaust]

Currently, I've got an X1950pro AGP running two 19" widescreens... and I just got a 22" widescreen that I would like to add to my setup.

Here's what I would like to do, but I don't know if it will work or not. I have an nVidia 4600 (I think) PCI card that I want to use to run one of the 19's and use the X1950 for the 22" and the other 19". Now, I had tried using two cards in the past, one ATI and the other an nVidia, and had nothing but problems with driver conflicts.... I have been told that these type of problems are no longer an issue, but I would like your opinions/experience with a setup similar to this.

Has anyone here tried something like this under Vista, and if so, have you had any problems? Driver conflicts or anything?? Any input would be appreciated...

Here's what you get when you search the Microsoft site for
"MultiMonitor Support Vista"

Short version:

If you force use of XP drivers, you can run graphics cards from different vendors, use Vista drivers, you can only use one driver for all the video cards.

Thanks... that's what I was looking for, suppose I should have thought of browsing Microsoft.
