running dual monitors with 2 different video cards?

[Whoopzoop]

Hi,
My current video card is a PNY NVIDA Personal Cinema FX 5700 and I'm quiet happy with it. (I purchased it while waiting for over a month for a replacement video card that was under warranty with the Computer manufacturer)
Well, they sent a replacement card finally and it's a brand new ATI radeon 9800 pro 128 mb. (OH HAPPY UPGRADE) I was wondering if it is possible to install the Radion and the PNY at the same time, Both cards are AGP. Both cards say to uninstall "other" video drivers before installation. I'm running XP home on a 2.2 CPU with a gig of ram. I run more than a few graphic apps at a time and would love the extra room.

Any help or advice you could give me would be much appreciated!

Thank you in advance.

I guess I'm a little late, but to run dual monitors on dual video cards you need an agp and a pci video card, unless you happen to have two agp slots (which is highly unlikely).

You need to uninstall the other drivers first because they will be usuing the exact same resources so if remnants are found, it can cause issues. if you have two different cards in two different slots, it's not a problem. (usually not, anyways)
