You would need two monitors, unless you are running them SLI.
In other words, assuming you aren't forcing the cards into the wrong slots and/or your mobo is PCI-E, nothing bad will happen. |

It depends. If they are identical cards, running in SLI (GeForce) or Crossfire (Radeon), which is only possible with certain cards and certain motherboards, you'd get a performance boost. If they aren't, then you will not experience any benefits I know of, and will probably have driver conflicts.

What kind of computer do you have? IMHO if your asking this question it probley won't do anything, or it won't boot up. |

They're both PCI express, but one's an NVIDIA and one's a Raedon. The Raedon came with my comp, but I got the other because it was better.

Just don't cut off those little gold tabs to make it fit into that tan slot.

It depends… Windows XP is designed to handle up to 10. It helps to research compatibility issues before you try it. The NVIDIA and Raedon cards will likely not get along together, they absolutely will not if it is a SLI motherboard and you are trying to mix cards in the PCI express video card slots. To run 2 PCI express video cards you need a SLI board and compatible cards you don't have them. Speed depends on the cards and computer. If you want to run 2 monitors many single cards come with dual heads (2 monitor outputs). If you want speed look in ti SLI motherboards using 2 cards. |

How can you tell? The slots look exactly the same. |

Going with the 'rip a hole in the space/time continuum' and end civilization as we know it theory. You would be a Dark Lord and lesser men would tremble in your presence. SLI is a gimmick to separate you from your money and was dug up and regurgitated to do just that. Wait six months and another single card rendering will obsolece any advantage that a pair of cards share at the moment.

Depends on the slot, the motherboard, the type of cards, your operating system, the rotation of the Earth, the current season on the souther hemisphere of Pluto, how many rounds were in lawdog's Glock when it went off from sitting in the sun, and how many gigs of midget pornography you have stored on your hard drive. If all these factors are in their associated places then your computer will become self-aware and kill us all.
edit: It definitely will NOT work with an nvidia chipset and an ATi chipset on the same board. Depending on what mobo you have you may not only have to have identical cards but identical firmware on those cards in order for them to work correctly. |
