Reply: (edit)Windows 2000 only supports dual monitors when there is 2 PCI graphics cards, or 2 ISA graphics cards. you cannot mix them EG:1 PCI and 1 AGP

you can have dual monitors, but you have to have the PCI as the primary card in win2k...to do this you need to go into your BIOS setings and set your motherboard to reconise PCI card first then AGP
another option is getting a new GeForce 4 card or ATI radeon card that has dual monitor capabilities built in
