Default Two graphics cards in Windows 98 - possible?

Provided the two cards are compatible you can have one AGP and one PCI. You
may need to make the PCI card the primary. Note that the published
specifications for a particular card might assume that it is the primary,
and some features may not be available when it is the secondary - this could
affect your choice of cards and how they are arranged.

Your problem is going to be confirming that the two cards are compatible,
considering the small choice you'll likely have for cards that have W98
support.

Also, by trying to get one fast and one sharp you might end up with a system
which is neither - generally the best rule is to choose two cards that are
as similar as possible and concentrate on optimising one feature only.

Can I install one AGP and one PCI graphics cards in Win 98?


I'd like one for fast 3D win apps, and one with sharper 2D display
quality for DOS apps.


Thank you for any help, best regards from Robert.- Hide quoted text -
