Is it possible to configure a dual-display desktop with 2 adaptors (video cards)?

Thanks in advance ;)

In short: Yes. Depending on the card(s) and OS you may need an extra driver. But it's doable.

:: EDIT :: Tell the OS too...

Any chance of the long version?

My primary display adaptor is a Radeon 9200.

I tried using a PCI Savage 3. That refused to work (wouldn't initialize the 2nd monitor).

Thanks for your help.
