Hi,
I have an ASUS A8N-SLI Delux motherboard which supports two PCI-E slot and in SLI mode if need be.
Originally I had a Generic ATI video card which I used to go to a single LCD monitor.
I then decided (hopefully not unwisely) that I would like my computer to control output to a Dual monitor for a large working area and also output to a 26" LCD screen for TV and DVD playing.
I thought that the best way to do this would be to use my existing Generic ATI card to control my 26" widscreen LCD TV via one of my PCI-E slots and then buy another card that has two DVI sockets for my other PCI-E slot to control the two 19" dual monitors.
Firstly, is this wise and secondly, when I installed both cards - they obviously cause some sort of conflict as Windows then refused to boot. When I took out the exiting card out and left the Dual DVI card in there - Windows booted (although seems slower now).
Can anyone help me wout with any help and guidance on this matter - please please please.
Brendon.
