I have a asus P5S800-VM motherboard running a AGPx8 ATI Radeon 9600 256 mb video card. I have a spare 125mb FX5200 PCI card. Is it possible to sync them both to run off the same motherboard

This is what NVIDIA's SLi and ATI's crossfire accomplish, though they require PCIe cards so you cannot do it with your current cards. With SLi or Crossfire you use two cards in two PCIe sockets and use a bridge to link them together.

almost absolutely adequate to improve your video card. i could also look at jumping as a lot as 4gb of ram! Your processors are tremendous 'for now' yet will want upgraded at a later date. in case your merely needing a higher FPS, there is two factors that can help you which of them are halfway low-cost. Your substantial one is the images Card, and secondary is the Ram. After that is the processor! So get a clean card, you'll sense free with the outcomes.

Kevin S has it right. It is possible using PCI-Express video cards either in the SLI or Crossfire configuration.
You can find more about it all over the net at: Wikipedia.org, TomsHardware.com, Anandtech.com, etc.

Nope. Can't run multi PCI nor AGP and PCI at the same time. YOu need a single dual card.

You CAN run dual monitors where each video card powers an individual monitor.
But as everyone before me has said you cannot link them together to get better video processing.
