Correct me if i'm wrong, but in a duel graphics card setup...don't they have to be identical cards in order to work together ?

No. I've used my onboard and a different dedicated card together before. It's probably not the most stable way to do things, but it is possible.

That settles it for me, but it does help to have two of the same cards though.. thanx.

On my tri monitor setup I have an FX5200 AGP card with 2 monitors hooked to it (middle and right monitors), and a random Matrox PCI card for the other monitor (left side monitor). Plus as I already said, I did the PCI and onboard together before...

Just for the heck of it I tried opening Google Earth on all 3 monitors, it only showed up on 2 of them (the monitors hooked to the FX5200), so it isn't the most stable way to go, but I don't have another AGP slot and an extra FX5200 either...
