At least in the old days in many cases you could never get dual-display
working with the same make model since they both would attempt to use the
same resources. This is fixed in modern cards (say younger 24-18 months
perhaps).
Take it from somebody that spent WEEKS trying to get identical cards to work
(and then several more weeks trying to get ANY other card to pair with a ATI
Radeon All-in-Wonder) before finding happiness in a Matrox G550. ;^)

So watch the video on your primary <g>
Seriously though, if they're the same make/style of video card, then
you'll never have any problems
I've had more problems with Dual Head cards than with using 2 video cards
