Don The cards I am using are a Radeon X300 PCIx and a nVidia GeForce MX420 in the PCI slot
But I got it a bit wrong, sorry, the X300 is being used as 1 x DVI 1 x RGB and the nVidia as RGB. It was the Parhelia that I used as 2 x DVI and when I updated the workstation it did not have an AGP slot to use it in! it came with the X300 already fitted so I gave this config a try and it works well. Actually I have seen less graphics and redraw related glitches than I did with the Matrox card, but that could just as easily be my own perception.
