Can i run 2 VGA's at the same time?

Post by GMan »

Ok here's the situation:
I've got an XfX Nvidia GeForce 8600gt VGA into my system.
Soon i'm getting a XfX Geforce GTX 260 VGA,and i was wondering if i could run the 2 VGA's at the same time[not in SLI]I want to be something like this:
The 8600gt to do the physics with the new Nvidia drivers.
The GTX 260 to do all the rest of the graphics.
Here are my specs:
Motherboard:ASUS P5N-T Deluxe
CPU:Intel Core 2 Duo E8200 @3.1GHz
Memory:2048MB DDR2 RAM
OS:Windows Vista Ultimate 64Bit
PSU:650w Corsair PSU
