AGP and PCI not working together is not true (unless there is something special about you Dell set-up). Voodoo3 2000's are very inexpensive now and make a good 2nd videocard (PCI). Michael

James, it varies from system to system, but what i've found is that video cards w/ the same chipset (ie, one pci, other agp) can work together. Some folks claim to have configured cards w/ different chipsets in a system. However, I've tried that numerous times without any success. I use an appian j3 quad, if you're still intersted, try this place ttrc.com good luck regards, hasan

Dell gave you incorrect information. I have a Matrox 400 AGP card plus 2 different PCI cards. I run 4 monitors with no problem. The only issue may be which monitor is primary. When I tried to set one of the AGP monitors as primary it wouldn't recognize the other monitors. When I set 1 PCI monitor as primary all 4 monitors work fine. Make sure you have 2 available PCI slots. I was short one, so I removed the PCI modem and replaced it with an external serial modem which is only a backup to my cable modem. Hope this is helpful.
