Hi all, *Please note i am running vista*

In one of my PCI-E x16 slots i currently have a quadro 3500 Video card
In the other PCI-E x16 slot i am wanting to put in a GTX 8800
(oviously not in a SLI connection as this is not possable. I am just wanting to connect one of my 24" monitors to the quadro 3500 and the other 24" monitor to the 8800 GTX)

-The quadro is ment for graphic design.
- I want to put in the 8800 GTX in so i can play games.

The problem is i have read Vista will not support more than one driver for the video cards therefore, if i have two different video cards that require two different drivers it wont work.

My questions are as follows:
1. Is what i am wanting to do possable?
2. Is there any way i can make the two cards work together as a supercharged card?
3. Will the monitors work as a whole still (When i move the mouse between the monitors
is will still jump from one side to the next like it currently does while having both
monitors hooked up to the Quadro 3500)?
4. If all this works out i will then be able to use the monitor that is connected to the 8800
GTX for gaming and the monitor that is connected to the Quadro 3500 for graphic
design correct?
5. Does anyone know if these cards will use the same drivers?

Thank you very much in advance.

Thanks for the reply but i thought it was not possable to connect different video cards together using SLI. Also cant Vista only have one driver for both video cards?
