I have an older dell, and in it i got a Geforce4 MX440se (PCI slot), its not that great of a card, even with my low system specs. i was wondering if anyone knows if i could use another PCI card at the same time... and whether the 2 crappy GPUs can be put to work together to create one OK GPU. i was thinking perhaps another MX440, dirt cheapt after all. id appreciate the advice! thanks!

You can have two PCI cards running side by side but you wont get them to work together to speed things up, in fact you might even slow things down as the PCI bus has to drive two video cards instead of one.
