If it is possible to install a PCI Express video card, and still be able to use the onboard video to have a triple monitor output?

The situation is, I have a client with a standard IBM/Lenovo desktop, that has an intel GMA video card. What he'd like to do, is install a PCI express dual output card, and be able to have three displays running (split, not mirrored)

I know with AGP, it would disable the onboard, but will PCI-E work?

Many thanks!

Only if your BIOS supports leaving the integrated on with a 2nd card.

So the answer is: depends on your machine. Maybe yes, maybe no. I've seen both many times.
