you won't get better preformance from 2 PCI video cards. PCI is slow and outdated for graphics

what kind of graphics card do you have? if you want better performance, you need to get a better card.

Two into one won't go.

Thus you cannot have a video image processed on two cards and 'merged' into one monitor.

Your best result will be to get as fast an AGP card [or PCI if that's all that can be accomodated on the MOBO] as is compatible for the MOBO.
