Can I run dual monitors on my PC beside one video card that have VGA and DVI output?

I a moment ago bought a new monitor and I am trying to extend my desktop across them both. I currently enjoy an ATI 9700 AGP gfx card and tried installing a second card (an old Voodoo3 PCI) and running respectively monitor on its own card. I am having trouble near that, so now I am basically considering buying a new card (Leadtek WinFast A7600GT probably) contained by hopes that it will solve my problems.



I just want to engender sure I can run the dual monitors off that modern card if I do purchase it.



Or if anybody has any recommendation on making the cards that I have immediately work? Computer recognizes them both, sets the AGP ATI card as primary and works on one monitor. But whenever I run to settings in my display controls and try to see the 2nd monitor on the voodoo3, my computer freezes and crashes.


Answer:

The 7600GT will have dual monitor support.





My guess is that the outdated drivers for the Vodoo 3 are causing the crash.



I didn't know anyone still have one of the Vodoo 3's. :)
YES and it is wonderful!!!, the only problem is that you enjoy to buy an adapter (DVI to VGA) for a monitor if it only have VGA.
