    W2K Dual Monitor

    Thanx for the info guys, I had already tried the Init PCI first in bios and then letting W2K switch the primary display and it works perfectly. Only problem is that I dual boot W2K and 98SE (cos W2K drivers just aint quite up to it yet for games, and I'm a SERIOUS UT player: check out www.utassault.net ), and if I set Init PCI first in the bios 98SE uses the Banshee for D3D (wont let ya switch Primary & Secondary in 98). And there goes my D3D performance Thanx for the info on the V3 but does anyone know of a slightly cheaper card that works perfectly as a secondary display adapter? I don't really want to spend that much on a secondary graphics card unless absolutely nessacary. Oh and the new Banshee Drivers didn't help either Thanx again. Phear

    W2K Dual Monitor

    Anyone know of a semi-decent graphics card that works well as a secondary graphics adapter under Win2k? I currently have a TNT2A as the primary display adapter and a Creative Banshee PCI as a secondary display adapter. It works perfectly under 98SE but under 2000 it produces garbage during boot up or hangs the machine totally I assume this is a driver problem but since the chances of seeing new w2k banshee drivers are next to nothing I was wondering if some1 could point me in the direction of another PCI graphics card which works perfectly as a secondary display adapter? I have tried 2-3 cheap s3 and Cirrus Logic PCI cards, all of which work perfectly in 98SE but wont even fire up as secondary display adapters in w2k at all (yellow exclamation mark jobs). All I want is a PCI card with 4Mb of RAM that works as a secondary display adapter. Or do I have to resort to a Matrox Dual Head system? Any help would be appreciated.
