Question about adding a second video card.

[MMAUY]

Hey guys,

I just built my first Gaming rig, nothing fancy but it plays Bioshock, FEAR, & gears of war pretty nicely.

I was wondering about adding a second Video card currently I have a Gforce 7600 GS AGP 256MB video card, I have another 7600 GS brand new that I have never used. Would adding it to my rig help at all? here are the specs of my system.

shuttle 56g1
pentium 4 3.0 ghz
1 gb ddr 3200

P.s I know it is nothing fancy but it gets the job done eventually I want to build a nice Quad Core system

It wouldn't help at all, unless you want to add more monitors.

You can only do SLI with PCI-e cards on a motherboard that supports it.

As he said adding a second graphics car only helps graphics wise if it is in SLI (Nvidia) or Crossfire (ATI). Although adding the second card you can add a second monitor and this helps while playing games too. You can have the game open on one screen and your fav browser with hints/tips/cheats/walkthroughs on the other screen
