I was told when I get a second video card for my pci slot it had to be a different manufacturer. I have been looking around on this sight( with a HUGE grin) at many people using the exact pci card in another slot. Is there anything I should be aware of?
System:
Asus A7M266-D mobo
MP2000 Processor
512megs of ram
Asus 8460 G4 TI4600 graphics card
Enermax 430w of awsome power
Win 2000 Pro
etc.....
I would love to put a Nvidia chipset in my pci slot but as of right now I am looking at ATI's Radeon 7500pci.

Scott,
I don't know where you heard that you had to have different cards, the closest I ever heard was that you had to have the same on onlder OSes. I am running a 3 monitor setup with a visiontek geforce4 mx400 AGP in the AGP slot and 2 visiontek geforce4 mx400 PCI cards in 2 of the PCI slots. So essentially 3 of the same card except one is AGP and I have no problems at all. I am running WinXP if that matters.
Good luck,
Chris Riffey

Thanks for the reply.
I am probably going to go with the ATI Radeon 7500 pci anyways because of the price. 79 US dollars and free shipping for a pci card that supports dual monitors.
