I have two video cards in my PC. One is an Nvidia GeForce3, 32MB & is on-board. The other is an Nvidia GeForce4 FX 64MB...obviously I'd rather use the 64MB, but I can't get it to work. Plug n play worked fine and I've installed Nvidia's universal drivers, and I've made sure I have the right video card selected in the display options but still no luck. Any ideas?

Need more details. Is one of the displays an onboard AGP? Is the second display an AGP card or PCI card?

sometimes brand new cards simply don't work. send it back to the company for a replacement. the last system i built used a Nvidia GeForce4 FX 64MB. i pulled my hair out trying to get it to work. it never did. as soon as i replaced it it was smooth sailing
