I would say that's pretty cheap.

2. Although the two drivers are different, they work seamlessly together. I have both on 6 systems here for various traders and you control all from one desktop manager. Beats the crap out of an nVidia and an ATI driver trying to work together.

1. DUH! That's for OEM version of AGP card. They are at Overstock because they are virtually in closeout. I doubt if there are any of those being made now.

2. Good to hear the FX and NVS cards work together on one driver. I ran Nvidia and ATI together for years with no problem... but then, I didn't install drivers for the ATI cards, just let Windows XP library driver handle it.

It's generally a bad idea to install more than one video card driver... especially if from 2 manufacturers.

I have done various combinations of Matrox, ATI, nVidia and Diamond. It is a coin toss depending on which specific card combination. A huge headache that can be easily avoided by sticking to just one chipset.

Of course. If you are building a trading rig and know you're going to want 3 or more monitors, you should definitely plan on using Quadro NVS, Matrox, or something like PowerColor quad, or Appian.
