2 vga card in one pc !

[Sapilas]

well i have a two years old pc mother KR7a-R (ddr266) and GF3 ti200, but I dont have tvout.
The cheapest solution I found is to buy a PCI card 32/64 MBs with TVout.

Does the Computer works with both vga cards same time .?
having GF3/agp plugged to the monitor and another PCI-tvout card plugged to the TV.?

OS winXP.

thks 4 help....

Its simple to find out but I dont have a spare pci card and need to buy one so before buying i think is better asking .... to avoid wasting time.
:Q

i read some other topics.....

do u think its better to get a new agp fx5000 128mb creative card 4 my pc ?

or stick to a cheap pci solution ?

which way :

1 get a new card
==============
Micro-Star International GF FX5200 128MB DDR AGP RP VO FX5200-T128 £46.00 inc VAT (70 euro)

is this card gonna be any better than my GF3 ti 200 64 MB ?

2. get a cheap pci
============
pci at about 50euro....

......Does it work buying a pci ... or give 20 euro more 4 a new card...??????????

If anything, that card will be worse than your gF3.

If all the PCI card will be used for is TV output, you can get a cheap nVidia TNT2 8/16MB card for dirt cheap off eBay.

You're best off finding a really cheap TNT2 or ATI Rage era card in the 8MB ballpark then. Those shouldn't be much more than $15 online.

Keep in mind that ATI Rage cards aren't supported as secondary video cards. Radeons work as secondaries, however. This was the case when I was looking into upgrading to 2 video cards in early 2002.
