I'm running 7950+6950 on linux and cgminer with no problems. I don't know what it is like with Windows.

It's tough to find cards that are compatible. It is an exercise in trial and error much of the time.

I don't think the 4850 is worth bothering with tbh, but yes they should work together fine. I've ran a mix of 5870/5970 & 6990s together without issues.

Thought I read some issue with 5/6 series cards and 7 series cards together?  Maybe I'm mistaken.

(Not concerned about hash rate right now, honestly, just diddling around and learning)
There may well be, I'm sorry I only have experience with 5/6 series cards.
Hopefully someone more knowledgeable can chime in.

Legen -wait for it- dary
As MiningBuddy said, Yes all cards can mine together (4xxx and newer), and I agree, the few MH/s you can get with the 4xxx card would only be useful in LTC mining...barely

I've just been "hobby" mining for a day on a single 7770.  Dug around in the closet and found my old 4850.  Can I slap this in my MB and have them both working?
