    Multiple display adapters

    I have a question....I understand that Vista will only support dual display
    adapters if they use the same driver. My desktop has three monitors and with
    XP I used the onboard ATI adapter and an Nvidia pcie adapter together. Now I
    have Vista Business installed and I'm considering purchasing a new ATI pcie
    adapter to get my three monitors back.....I've already checked drivers at ATI
    and both adapters would use the same driver. Could anybody verify this before
    I make the purchase?

    Thanks
