I just purchased a Dell 330 Pentium 4 with and Nvidia Quadro Pro2 64MB card in the AGP slot. I want to add a new Voodoo 5500 PCI 64MB card for my second montotr. Both Monitors ate Dell 21" P1110. Is the intel chip definetly going to be a problem and does the set up allow me to adjust the Bios to use the AGP as the primary

I don't know more about the P4 problem than what's in the article, but in any case, don't get the Voodoo5, it doesn't work with the current P4 chipsets. But according to the 3dfx FAQ, the Voodoo4 can be used on P4 systems.

Ignore my previous post, this affects only AGP cards...

Please be careful with PCI video cards and Pentuim 4's. Most PC manufacturers are selling Matrox G4x AGP cards and not recommending true multi monitor. The P4 has a bug that has to do with graphics that are processed through the PCI bus.

They are planning on fixing it but I don't know when....
