NOW if I could only find a board with dual AGP....well...at least a chipset that supported it would be step in the right direction. I found two listings for the GeForce4 in my inventory system at work... It appears to come in two flavors. One of them was entitled Titanium MX4600 (who knows what the people that create these entries are smoking...this could be off the wall) I don't remember the other, both were PNY though -O-

Oddly enough I had the same problem with a bx board (some generic mobo). I had a seagate drive though. What fixed it for me was seeing the IDE to all 'AUTO' in the bios instead of the 'USER' setting that the bios put in after it detected the drive or after I ran the IDE autodetect. I thought it was kinda strange, and it may have been coincidence, but hell, it worked. You might also try wiping your master boot record via fdisk. Fdisk /mbr then create a new fat32 partition and try installing xp, you can convert to NTFS later if you want(or during the setup). Good Luck, -O-

I am using an old trident, a PCI Vrapter (rendition 2200, this baby is a classic), and a Ti500, since I had installed my os with only my ti500, I have my bios set to init PCI first. That is the only way I could get xp to use it. The problem I was having was that when I installed the rendition the trident would dissapper. It is not a hardware conflict that I am aware of...at least between the two PCI cards. I am still experimenting with different configurations. I was not aware that 2k and Xp supported 10 minitors, I might have to go get some dual head PCIs Thanks for the help! -O- oops, forgot to answer dirty harry... I tend to do a lot of things at the same time, or have a lot of things open, JUST photoshop (when I use it) almost fills up two monitors, then I'll usually have media player going playing a movie or music vids, then roughly 15 instances of IE. it gets pretty cluttered, the only downside I've run into with multiple monitors is some games don't like them, but I think that is the result of my bios being set to init PCI first. Quick question: If I install the PCI first, can I leave my bios at Init AGP first and still have windows use my pci adapters properly? Anyone have any exp with that? Thanks again.

I am trying to get 3 video cards to work with xp at the same time... I cannot get it to work. When I boot with all three vid cards, one of them disappears from the device manager. I am using 2 PCI and one AGP. Anyone have any tips or suggestions? Or is this simply a lost cause. Thanks, -O-
