This should work, I would first however d/l and install the latest video drivers for you current graphics card, also make sure you have the latest Chipset/INF drivers for your motherboard as well as all current patches and such for the OS.

 

After this find and d/l the latest drivers for that PCI card and have them ready to installe.

 

You should be able to install that PCI card and boot up into your OS and install those drivers you have just d/l for it.

 

Now, of course the fun in managing the desktop and monitors connected to each card

 

You may have to play around with these settings to get things to work properly however.
