I just bought 2 new 19inch LCD Monitors to add to my 20.1 lcd so i can get a 3 monitor display going. I also bought a 128 5200 nvidia pci card. My primary card is an ATI 9800 128. I hvae done dual monitors plenty of times before thats easy. But as soon as i apply the settings for the third monitor (extend desktop onto this monitor) the comp freezes. It is the geforce 5200 taht this monitor is on. I have from then reinstalled windows/all drivers, and it still does the same thing. I've also tried 2 diff pci cards (a 9250 ati pci) and tried different pci slots. Im running out of ideas. I was thinking it could be something in the bios that i might need to change.Any help would be nice thank you.

Try telling your BIOS to initialize the PCI card first. It won't hurt the performance of your AGP card and it won't force your PCI display to be primary in Windows. It just moves the startup messages to the PCI display.
I have two Nvidia cards, an AGP 6800 and a PCI 5200 and this is what I had to do.
Good luck.
