err, thing is old cards don't usually really work well with multi-gpu setups... I've tried before = FAILURE

Some really old cards are "collector" items.

I had the mach 64 in aonther computer before with a GeForce 4000 and it sucked, but it worked

im not gonna be doing any gaming on this so its ok (linux lol)

Well the only thing I can tell ya is some old PCI cards need to be the primairy (in BIOS) card to work (gimme a sec I'll find the link for that info).

Best of luck.
