Ok, my bro has some old games (kid's games) that won't run on anything new- they just die w/ a GF3+. He currently has a 16MB sis vid card in there and all runs fine....except for the new games (he really wants to run Simpsons Hit and Run). Is there anyway I can place 2 vid cards on there and have the old games use the old vid card and the new the new vid card (btw, there is a free agp slot...)

Could be a Geforce3 driver issue or something.

You should try a different card in there and see if his old games would run.

Which old games is he playing?

I'm going to assume that the card now is an onboard one. If it is, then it shouldn't be a problem. Just stick a new card in the free AGP slot. I used to do that with an old PC that had onboard graphics and a PCI Radeon card. I did that with Win ME and it worked, I just had to set which programs to run on the primary display or the secondary. I don't see why it wouldn't work for you.
