2 dualhead video cards-help, please!

Hi all:

I've googled around a bit and hope you can help me out. TIA!

I would like to set up a 4 monitor PC. To that end I've purchased a
Jaton dualhead PCI card and a Jaton dualhead AGP card. They both use
nVIDIA's GeForce MX4000 GPU. I can manage to install either and get a
great dual monitor setup, but trying to install the other supercedes
the other and it's still dualhead. Windows says that the cards'
drivers are working alright, but for instance, when the AGP is
installed and working, putting the PCI in and installing the drivers
for that card causes the AGP monitors to act weird and the PCI monitor
(only one @ that point) doesn't even turn on.

Anyone have pointer to help me out? Please?

I'm wondering if I should have just bought some cheap single monitor
cards and filled up the PCI and AGP slots.

Thank you,
Tim

Don't know about the Jaton cards, but some cards simply won't work
with each other. In this case, you may find that to be true.
