Well...

I guess it would have been to much to ask for...

I was trying to get 3 monitors to work with this NFORCE2 board with
dual VGA output.

When I plug in either of one of my AGP Nvidia boards in, the output
from the onboard video goes dead.

If the ONBoard video is NOT DISABLED, then Windows desktop is not
displayable from the add-on card.

Damn... I was hoping to use something like a Ti4200 or 5900 type card
in the AGP slot and use the two to display other stuff.

Well... for the sake of trying, I'll see if I can get my hands on a
PCI Video card, just to see if I could get a 3rd video working.

The only way will be a PCI card. The onboard is AGP. Only one AGP per PC. I
think Matrox do some dual head cards.
The 3d performance isn't great but they say the 2d quality is excellent.

I remember when 3k was it (programming the VIC-20).

I'm ****ed I gave away my VIC 20!!! One of these days, I think I'll
make an effort to buy one... my first computer.

There is a website that has a screen dump from one GAWD!! 22col x
20 rows of text!!!

(Im typings this in 1600x1200 on a 19" screen)


Yeah... I was beginning to figure that on this XPC...
