Dual Monitor display & Video Cards?

Question

I own a P4 1.7GHZ PC with a single AGP slot and 5 PCI slots. Currently the system has a video card in the AGP slots and a Voodoo 2 PCI videocard to give a total of 2 monitors for my Win 2K3 desktop. I've tried adding a 3 videocard into the mix (into another PCI slot) but winodws refuses to install it complaining about error code 10. I am unable to adjust IRQ settings for any of the cards.

Would a solution be to find a newer PCI video card circa 1999+ ? Or are there dirt cheap dual monitor AGP cards available instead?

What is the cheapest (used is fine) solution into upgrading my Win2K3 system to use 3 monitors on my desktop. I dont care for 3D graphics abilities, only 32bit color display and 1280x1024 rez.

Answer 1

you can not have 3 video cards installed in one system.....

Answer 2

You cant have 3 monitors going at once unless you have a SLI capable motherboard which lets u have 2 graphics cards (higher end), meaning you can have 4 monitors going at once, you can also use 3 monitors if you wanted to. But to do this you need a new computer, or upgrade.

Chris Pirillo does not constantly have the excellent suggestion. maximum video taking part in cards made in the previous 365 days or 2 can cope with 2 video exhibit instruments at 1920 x 1080, basically verify the specs of the cardboard in the previous paying for your video exhibit instruments.
