Is there a way to use 2 PCI video cards,TNT2 and Voodoo3,in the same mother-board, so I could choose each one to use at boot-up ? My specs: PIII-800/m748mr/256MB RAM/Win98SE.
Thanks for your atention !
 
Not with 2 PCI cards; the motherboard will always pick the same card to be the primary video card.

You can definately do this with an AGP and a PCI card, though, there's an option in the BIOS for which video card is the primary card between those options.
 
dakota81 is correct in most cases using one agp and one pci video card can be done if you will be using 2 monitors for cad purposes or whatever purpose you need to have 2 monitors. But if you would be using it as a selector on which video card your going to use it might give you driver and dll problems everytime you boot up and always the default video card is booted. Good Luck.
