Default Two video cards - 1 computer

Hey I have Ati Radeon 9550 video card 256MB - AGP, and the display for the 2nd monitor is not working ...so my question is can i buy PCI video card and use it to connect it with my TV....i want to use the Ati Radeon 9550 for the games i play and the other card for connecting it with my TV and to watch on it from my pc...so basicly what i'm asking for is, is it possible to have AGP and PCI video card in 1 computer ..? and if yes can you tell me some video card just for TV i dont feel spending a lot of money for card just to watch TV on it....Thanks. Something cheap if possible but not to be something that's not worth it.

Yes it is, I've done it before for a tri-monitor setup. I would suggest maybe a cheap FX5200 128mb card.

Any hardware will require drivers, unless they are already on the system. And if they were, I'd probably still upgrade them
