two monitors, two video cards?

I have a geforce 8800 and an onboard geforce 7025 mobo on my biostar tf025. I also have two widescreen monitors, and was wondering if it was possible to setup my left monitor with the geforce 8800 (for gaming) and the right monitor for firefox/less intensive use by using the 7025. Is there any way to accomplish this?

oh. i feel dumb. i'll try it in a second.

also, my 8800 is running at 81f while under a bit of load (world of warcraft)... is this normal? i'm going to be running some 3dmark tests soon, but my knowledge of 81f is that there's no point in ocing.

81*F is cold, 81*C is medium-warm (95+ is hot)

yeah...81F is not bad at all, once you see in the 100s, then your starting to get a problem on your hands.

****, I just realized it is Celsius and not Fahrenheit.

also, about the dual video card thing, my computer refuses to recognize the 7025. Right now, I have both monitors hooked up to the 8800. I installed the original drivers that came with the mobo cd for the 7025, but it doesn't work. I unplugged the monitors from the 8800 slots and hooked them up to the 7025 slot, then tried them each separately, but the computer still did not recognize the card. How would I go about doing this?
