question about dual video cards/capture cards

I currently have a nice Radeon AGP graphics card which I love, but my friend is getting rid of his PCI All-in-wonder card. Question is, can I take the all in wonder and use it just for capture, while retaining my high powered card too? This would be a bridge between my USB Dazzle capture device, and something truely high quality, only becuase it is really cheap.

Thanks for all advice.

I think you'll be fine, infact you could probably use the all-in-wonder as a second video card. So you could hook another monitor up.

It depends on what model of All-In-Wonder it is. The earlier models aren't that terribley great. But I do think they would be better than a dazzle.

When you add another video card it'll just put secondary interfaces into Direct3D. Just make sure your DirectX games are set to the primary. OpenGL, I don't think you'll have ap roblem.
