I am trying to run three montors with two graphics cards.
I have just upgraded my system to a new computer (Dell Dimension 9200 P2.4 Ghz Duo2 Processor, 2GB RAM). I have a ASUS EN7600GT PCI-E card which has dual dvi output to power two of the monitors. I need to run three screens and have bought an ATI Radeon 9550 PCI card to power the other monitor (performance not needed on this one!).
I have the latest bios updates, and all drivers installed for both graphics cards, however, my new system does not like trying to run both cards simultaneously. Is there a clash/conflict on the PCI/PCIE bus? Is there a way to change the memory each card references? All I get is 680 x 420 screen res. on the third screen. Looks terrible. I have tried inserting the Radeon into the other PCI slot, but still no joy. On windows load, it says "Cannot find Video card information". I am assuming this is refering to the ATI card.
My old system worked with default Dell AGP card and PCI Radeon card (Can't remember which one: 64MB). This was able to power three monitors. And worked from day one.
At the moment I have the ATI card disabled and am just running two monitors.
Any ones help would be much appreciated.
Many many thanks in advance,
Jamie.

Or does any one know what PCI graphics card is compatible with the ASUS EN7600GT PCI-E card. I only have one PCI-E graphics card slot.
I know this ASUS is a popular card so hopefully someone must know this?
Many thanks.
Jamie.

The ASUS EN7600GT is a nVidia-based card, right? That's what I gather from http://www.asus.com/products4.aspx?l1=2&l2=6&l3=0&model=1097&modelmenu=1. So, I think you would have been better off to get a PCI card with nVidia graphics chip; that would have been less likely to conflict with your primary card.
