You should source the drivers from ATI and not rely on Vista default
drivers, particularly if wanting dual supported by the card There is a site, whose url I cannot locate right now, that reports on cards that will work together, not all do Of course there is the option of Matrox triple head "solon" wrote in message ... hi! just got a new ibm pc vista in office, followed the advise fm below : http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/device...imonVista.mspx & tried to add 2 extra display cards for 3 monitors set up but not workable, anyone can help me on this: situation 1-- 2 x pci ati radeon 9250 after vista running, it detected the display cards & automatically search & installed driver, but it still showing "!" on the device manager tried to reboot several times but still hung!! when using 1 extra display crad instead, 2 displays are working fine! but onboard display card was disable as expected bios setting on video for "atuo" & "pci" are both work fine for only 1 pci display card, situation 2-- 1 x pci ati radeon 9250 + 1 x pcie ati radeon hd3450 not able to boot up! when using only hd3450, 2 displays are working fine! but onboard display card was disable bios setting on video for "atuo"--- only work fine for 1 pcie card & when set to "pci" then only pci radeon 9250 work fine, anyone have a good suggestion?? -- solon

AFAIK for multiple displays to work in Vista they have to be using the same
drivers. ATI 91xx and 92xx cards do not have native DX9 support so there are no Vista drivers for these cards from ATI.
