Hi all,

sound's a little bit strange, but let me explain ...

I'm using a slightly old System (Tyan Dual Pentium Board, that's why only Win2K and only PCI-Card's).
I do have 4 Cards that I can use, but only want two working together:
1. ATI Rage XL 8MB
2. S3 Virge/DX 4 MB
3. ATI Rage II+ 2MB
4. ATI Mach64 1 or 2 MB

I've tried a little bit with Win98 and Win2K. And some combinations work with Win98. But it seems that no configuration works with Win2K. I'm not able to setup the second card although Windows show's me both working (i.e. card 1 and 2 with 2 primary) ... I'm only able to use Win2K, no Win98/ME because of the 2 Processors and no WinXP because of the performance!

Any ideas???

Thx

Well that's easy to explain. Windows 2000/XP just doesn't support some older graphic boards as secondary card.
