2nd nvidia pci card

Does any one have 2 nVidia GeForce cards on one system? I already use a GeForce 4 on the AGP bus and a cheapo on the PCI. Id like to get another GeForce on PCI. Im wondering if I can get the nvidia drivers and openGL to work on both cards on both monitors.

I run 3 geforce cards and 4 monitors, an FX in the AGP and 2 GF2 PCI cards. I have the nvidia drivers working fine on all my displays, you can setup X with xinerama or make each screen seprate from the rest.

Not quite as impressive as fxmike's, I've got one AGP and one PCI card. They work fine; configuration is pretty straightforward.

OpenGL works on all three monitors in theory; however in practice the PCI card is horribly slow at it, not that I really have any reason to use it for that anyway.

i bought the second card. OpenGl apps run fine on the monitor with the agp card. but i drag it to the other monitor on the pci card and it is just a blank window. is it possible this is a window manager issue? i'm running the cvs version of enlightenment.
