well just got a saphire 2600xt pcie will test tonight. if it works i might sell the x1600pro and buy another one or an x1950gt cause that performs better as the 2600xt right now except dx10

I dont think its possible to Connect two cards up without using CrossFire. Even if it is, the VGA/DVI may be disabled on the second card, although im unsure.

You can use two different cards withour issues, you just wont have crossfire campable system. and you can use all four displays.
at least thats how it works with nvidia cards, I even seen system with a combo nvidia ati

yeah works fine running 1 monitor on the 2600xt and the other two on the x1600 now i just have an issue with the computer rebooting with i exit a full screen game ... we will see how i solve this i believe its a driver issue or some related thing.
