I am using Windows 4.0 Workstation. Can I install a second video card to display on a second moniter? I have a high dollar video card I need for a CAD program but from time to time I also need to use a video capture card as a frame grabber.
Does anyone know if this can be done?

Thanks,
John
 
You can install a second video card, but you will have to set it up properly. You can also purchase a video card that supports dual monitors.
 
Also, try to avoid using 2 vid cards from the same manufacturer - especially ATI. CitrixEngineer@yahoo.co.uk
 
there are a variety of USB video capture cards that are MUCH easier to setup. Don't have time to look up brands but I think Dazzle makes one. They are fairly inexpensive and may be your best bet.

hope that helped,
