question regarding vid cards
I have a nvidia geforce 4 mx440 card installed, and i also have an old all in wonder card. is there any way that i can use my mx440 for graphics, but use the tv tuner of the AIW.
EDIT: AIW is a rage 128 pro
mobo is DFI AD70-SC

Are both agp slot?
If yes, then no.
If no, then yes.
You'll probably need 2 monitors for it to work though.

lol, im not sure if they are... and about the monitors, thats what i was afraid
if so, would i be able to just use one monitor and switch to the other card when i wanted to use the tv tuner?

Well, if your current monitor supports two vga inputs then yeah.
(or any other way of having two input signals)

If it's plugged into pci slot, you boot up your computer, install aiw drivers and you're set.
About the monitor, see my above posts

AIWs NEED to be the primary card to work. Put that BIOS setting back to "PCI" preference, else no video-in function.
