Hello all
Really glad I found this forum,
I have an Intel motherboard with 1 PCI-E slot and 4 PCI slots, the PCI-E slot is currently being taken up by my 7800GTX, Please could someone advise me on a dual head PCI gfx card that might have a good chance working with my 7800GTX (PCI-E), I would like to have 4 of my tft's running althougth I will settle for 3 if need be (better that than 2, lol) I know mix and matching gfx cards is'nt an exact science but any help on what cards to try with my setup would be greatly apprecaited

Best move would be to grab a PCI FX5200. Its not going to let you play the latest games spread over 4 monitors, but they work nicely with other nvidia hardware, and have plenty of grunt to fuel older games (Perfect for 4 monitor flight simming) and desktop tasks. Pretty much no new performance cards are made on the aging PCI bus, so the FX5200 is pretty much the leader of the pack.

I found that pcie cards do not work with pci cards on my pavillion a1350n with an amd chip. even if both are nvidia. hp even verified only one type of card with work, pci or pcie but not both at the same time
