A question for the graphics hardware gurus…
I’ve got a Win 2K SP4 system currently running a Matrox P650 AGP (4X) video card. That card is great for my Photoshop work, but it hasn’t got the oomph to run modern games. I was wondering if there were any way to run a second video card from one of the PCI slots? Ideal would be a simulataneous dual monitor arrangement, but I’d be happy if I could simply boot Win2K using the single card of my choice.
Cards that are very good for games or very good for professional graphic arts aren’t that expensive (vis the P650). Cards that are very good at both are *pricey*! Hence my interest in wondering if there’s any way I could do this– use the Matrox AGP for my work and some other PCI card for play.
Thanks!
