i have an onboard video card and a apg nvidia fx 5200 video card. i was trying to multi-screen with them but i can never get both cards to work at the same time. i can only get either onboard to work or the apg to work. please tell me how to fix that or is it just my video cards not compatible ?
thanks in advance.

if i recall correctly, you cannot have both onboard sound and the agp card to work at the same time with ANY card, not just that combo

The previous post is not exactly correct.

The problem your having with your AGP card and on board video card is due to the fact the on board video card is AGP. You have two (2) options:

1) Return your AGP card and get a PCI video card. Set your bios to load the PCI card first.

2) Turn off your on board video card,keep your AGP card and buy another video card (PCI) and use the two cards to power your monitors.

Just helping where I can

I thought most 5200's had dual outs.
