i have 5 monitors that i got for free. they are all in perfect
condition. the only problem is that i can't use them all. i have a
" Gforce fx 5500 OC AGP 256mb ddr" video card and i also
have a cheap "PCI ati rage pro 8mb" my goal is to use as
many of my monitors on a single computer as possiable. i have an
extra computer that i also use multiple monitors on. the motherboard
has a hardwired video that i haven't actually been able to figure out
how to disable it (i uninstalled the driver but that odviously didn't
help and i tried to disable it in the bios but im not sure if it
actually worked) i got the nvidea AGP card to work amazingly i love
it(this computer doesn't like agp cards unless its invidia, it likes
to restart continously or give me viscious messages) and i then tried
to install the pci card and it shows up in device manager as not able
to start. so i found a more recent driver and that fixed the problem
evertying was working fine excpet i couldn't turn on the video. i
went to display settings and it doesn't show up there. nothing was
coming out of the monitors i tried. did i commit some mortal sin or
something . i fix computers on the side and this is kinda driving me
crazy. im glad i finally got a video card to atleast work. would a
pci version of the nvidea work better. is using the AGP disabling the
pci graphics. the onboard video is disabled when the AGP card is in.
when i take the agp card out the onboard video comes back up. i
cannot use both at the same time. my goal is to get some cheap pci
cards so i can have as many monitors as possible. the computer is an
HP pavillon a420n with 2.16GHZ 3000+ amd athlon win xp home 768 mb
ram. i fix home computers as a side job for freinds family and their
friends. iv been at it for a while and i cant even figure out my own
computer. id like some help.
