I'm under the impression that current systems can't work with 2 video cards installed, regardless if one is PCI-e and the other PCI. You'd probably need to get a mobo that supports nvidia's SLI technology or similar from another video vendor to allow 2 video cards. (http://www.slizone.com/content/slizone/learn.html)
Did you remove the nvidia drivers when you took out the nvidia PCI-e card but PC still wouldn't see the PCI video card? If not, possibly the drivers conflict. I am assuming you installed the ATI drivers at that point too.
I vaguely remembering another post where they ran more than 2 monitors off one nvidia 6800 card by connecting a signal splitter to one of the output ports on the card so that might be the best direction to go.
