Multiple monitors - different resolutions??

I have two 24" monitors that are running at 1920x1200 resolution and I recently purchased a Wacom Cintiq 12WX which has a native resolution of 1280x800. I want the Wacom screen to mirror one of my two monitors but I want both monitors to stay at their native resolution.
Is this possible?
I currently have a dual head card that is pushing the two 24" monitors and I'm wondering if I can buy another video card (maybe with just a single output) and attach the Wacom to it and have it mirror the desktop of one of the two 24" monitors.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks - Greg

Should be able to. Get the same card you have now, it will have less conflicts.

What OS are yoou using? You could always try it with your 2 now.

On Windows 7 it is:
Control Pannel > Appearance and Personalization > Display > Adjust Resolution > From the drop down , pick a monitor then set its resolution.

I can't afford another nVidia Quadro FX4800 card but I will of course make sure it's an nVidia card and not an ATI card.

Win 7 OS... Brand new build.

Just make sure they use the same drivers. Some aren't compatable with others and may cause conflicts. You could always split the signal to the first 2 then use the second output for your "little" monitor. This is assuming the gpu can handle it.

Edit: misread the last part. It should handle it, try it first and see. Those directions are for Win7.
