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
