Question installing 2 dif. video cards in same pc?

I am running a geforce 2 video card right now and i have an older ati all in wonder card. my question is can i have both cards installed so i can capture video with the ati card and play games with the geforce?
I am running winxp pro. Is it possible to maybe make a dif. login name with the dif. video card?
Thanx in advance!

Unfortunately, the only way to run two screen adaptors is by having one AGP and one PCI graphics card.

If all your trying to do is capture video, get an external adapter. Pinnical has a few on the market that will do it for you. then you don't have to worry about it.

you actually can use both at once, as Ive seen it done before. The guy had his AGP card running his regular monitor, then he had a PCI graphics card running an internal LCD he had right in the computer case!
