Zeuspaul, Just wondering if you could help me with the following configuration: I am having trouble getting 3 ATI video cards to work together. I have 3 ATI XPERT 98 cards (1 AGP and 2 PCI) running on a QDI BX1 motherboard and my system never gets beyond the Windows 98 initialization before locking up. I have narrowed down the problem to when BOTH PCI cards are installed at the same time. If I run 1 AGP and 1 PCI simultaneously, no problem. When I add the second PCI card to the aforementioned configuration, the system locks up and I end up running in Windows 98 SAFE mode. By the way, I am running the latest ATI drivers already (4.10.2440). I have even thought about buying an ABIT BH6 board that I hear many of you talking about. Would that solve the problem i.e., could it be that my motherboard does not support more than 2 monitors? I just upgraded from a QDI BX5 board so that I could gain an additional PCI slot but never expected to encounter this new problem. It seems like a hardware contention problem of some kind. Any thoughts? Sue
