I have a 30 inch Dell LCD/TV and 2 Dell 2001FP monitors and building a system for them...
I'm wondering if I could get the 256MB parhelia PCI (for stock trading and CAD work) and also put in a fast AGP card like an ATI9800 (for gaming).
I have no idea if a WinXP system would accept that or how I would hook it all up.
Would both cards work together? Or would I need all 3 mons hooked up to the parhelia?
Thanks!

I use NVidia cards, but as far as I know, that card combo should work. Can you find that combo, or something similar in the database here?

Not a straight match, but similar which I guess proves it works, but I just don't know how it works...
I'm wondering how I would plug it in...do the vid cards work together to display across the 3 monitors together?
Like with the 9800 connected to the middle monitor and the parhelia to the two sides, can I display one desktop across all 3? Can I play a video game across all 3?

I don't know about video games, since 3-D accelleration is involved, but the desktop will cover all 3 monitors. The task bar will only be on one monitor, but you can use something like UltraMon to put task bars on the other monitors if you like it that way.
