I hope my title pretty much spelled it out.

I'm asking if there's a way to get my integrated card to work together with my PCI card rather than just sitting there and doing nothing except giving me another screen.

This might be a pipe dream...but it was worth a shot.

Not possible, you can only use one or the other.

shame...i figured that would be the answer i'd get....oh well.

That depends upon your motherboard.

No it doesn't, you cannot sli pci graphics cards no matter what mobo you have. 2 pci cards can work alongside oneanother but not together.

Im not even sure you can have two PCI cards working together, I think it is PCIE only, using SLI or CrossFire

i was only asking because i've heard of all kinds of crazy things being done with PCs. all kinds of mods exist, so it didn't seem so outrageous of a question to me. i thought that perhaps there was some neat bit of programming, or some method that would force the computer to combine the efforts of the graphics chips.

but, like i said. i was afraid that would be the answer i got. this doesn't surprise me in the least.

Well nobody blames anyone for asking noob questions
