Dual Monitors with 2 PCI Video Cards?

I have some old monitors and video cards laying around, so I thought that I would try to set up dual monitors, but all my cards are PCI. Is it possible to set up dual monitors using 2 PCI video cards?

I've tried a few things, but i haven't been able to get it to work, when i boot up with both video cards, the secondary card says "This device cannot start." in the Device Manager. Is there a way to fix this?

Thanks!

You have to keep mixing and matching the cards and trying different PCI slots till you find 2 that will play nice with each other.
