    How to Install a second graphic card

    Hello,

    I already have an Asus ENGTX260, with a monitor (VW225D) and an old TV did.

    Now I would like a second graphics card installed in the PC (Best Club 3D Nvidia GeForce 9500GT with 512MB DDR3) in order to continue these 2 monitors (VW192s) adapter.
    If I connect both cards normally recognizes the pc will still be the primary.

    OS Win XP 32bit.
    Thank you in advance in advance

    So, different video cards (chips) do not.
    When the manufacturer, it is not so bad. (MSI / HIS / ASUS / etc.) However, you can not even nVidia with ATI at the same time! The chip must be the same, that is with you always a GTX260!

    Two times your desktop, which depending where you work only displays what you see on this open Desktop ? That is as far as I know impossible!
