Help with choice of video cards

[shelldan]

Hey
Im building my computer and the last thing I have to decide is the video cards.
I want to run three LCD screens meaning I will need two video cards.
Im not to sure how to find out if they will be both compatible with each other.
I was looking at the following:
1st - GeForce nVidia 6800GS 8X AGP 256MB DDR3 Dual DVI VGA HDTV-Out Video
2nd - Galaxy 7600GS 256MB 128Bit DDR2 HDTV Dual DVI PCI-E Video card
Will this work? I havnt put the computer together yet but here are the components I have.
PSU: Enermax EG701AX-VE-SFMA24P, 600 W ATX PSU, SLI Ready Dual 12v Rail
CPU:AMD Athlon 64 x2 4200+
MOBO: Asus M2N-SLI Delux AM2 Socket
Harddrive: 1x Seagate Barracuda 300GB Sata2 and 1x Seagate Barracuda 500GB Sata2
MEMORY: DDR2 800 PC6400 SDRAM (2GB)
SOUND CARD: X-Fi
Any feedback appreciated.
Thanks

You have PCI-E x16 not AGP x8.
I suggest you to get nVidia 7900GT 240$-290$ or 7600GT 150-170$ or Radeon X1900XT 400$ or 7900GTX for 400$ http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814121002R

I think you need to make sure you have the "Pro SLI" or it will not work (or so I hear)

1st, you cant SLI AGP.

2nd, I would go with the 7600GT in SLI. I think that would give you the best performance for the price.

Of course a 7900GT or GTX would be better but thats quite expensive.
