AGP + PCI video card question

Hello,

I'm about to setup a triple monitor setup, 2 LCDs + 1 CRT.
I took an old PCI video card I had laying around and it works fine. Only drawback is that I'm stuck at 1024-768 in 16 bits. I just ordered a GeforceMX4000 PCI card fro 40 bucks and I had this question :

Since I already have an NVIDIA card, how will the driver handle both cards ?
Anyone has experience with this ?
Thanks,
Nat

Generally the driver doesn't really matter. Windows handles multiple displays natively. I've got an Intel AGP and ATI PCI setup at work and it works almost flawlessly. The only problem i've got is that Windows Media Player will only show vidoe on one screen at a time. If i drag it to the other monitor it goes black. If i start it on the other monitor it will play fine there, but goes black if i drag it over to the first.

Also some bios's have settings for both cards.
