thanks again for your help. but I think it will be end into a new (or maybe two ?) graphic card(s) - I can't get it running. everytime I've put the second card in the slot, SAX2 lost the cards during detection. I've tried all posible combos fom cards/slots, "sax2 - m 0=[nv and / or nvidia] - m 1=[nv and / or nvidia] and the drivers v7174 - v7676 ( yea, I think I've done about 8 or 10 installs this day :( ). i will give it up here.
so I have to buy new cards, with a lot of power that I don't need because this is a working PC, not for gaming. and the trouble getting a PCI- card with a chipset that is still supported by Nvidia in conjuction with a AGP- card (and hopping they will still support that a year of two).
Sure ... I udnerstand .. sorry to hear it does not work .. You should be able to retain the fx5200, since this is what I use on my dualhead system with an additional Geforce4. You should be able to pick that up second hand or on online auctions fairly cheaply. Andreas
