Is it possible to run two monitors on my pc?

My motherboard graphics processor wasn't enough, so I bought a second card (same brand) and installed it. Now my motherboard graphics seems to have been uninstalled, and windows XP won't find it. I'd like to hook up a monitor to the motherboard graphics card, and one to the pci card. How do I do this?

I have Windows XP

The motherboard graphics is Integrated ATI Radeon Xpress 200

The Card I just installed is VisionTek Radeon 9200

The card works fine, but I'd like to combine both graphics processors, or at least use the monitor functions of both. The card i bought came with a monitor plug, serial, and dvi. I have no idea what uses dvi, but I don't have any monitors that are dvi. Is there an adaptor? Right now I'm stretched across a monitor and a tv (through serial), but the tv is blurry, so I'd like to use 2 mons.

Thank you

    Once u've unpluged ur built-in GPU u cant use it anymore - This is one of the onboard solution draw-back. U cand use two monitors without having two graphic cards. I dont know if ur model supports that technology but if u have 2 outputs - Dvi and D-Sub on ur new GPU u certainly can use 2 monitors

    You should be able to enable two video cards too. but, for some reason, I can't see the reasoning for having two monitors, unless you're running two different programs at the same time

    If you are, congratulations, I prefer to just flip between what I'm doing. But then, I'm lazy.
