I've got a P4n-e sli board with a geforce 8800
and i have an extra ati 9200 pci that i want to connect to this board so i can use my tv as a second monitor. (this is the only card i have with component out and my tv only has component)
cept that every time i install the ati card it starts from ati card and i can't use my 8800
so im thinking that making the comp start the sli slot before the pci slot would fix this problem.
right now, i think atleast, how it works is that the comp starts on the pci card and when windows has finished loading the other card is loaded but in this case doesn't load.
maybe if it was backwards this would not be a problem?
or maybe this isn't the problem at all and it has something to do with driver mix ups and the problem is with windows and how it works these things.
the other thing is that, when i start the comp with the ati card uninstalled and install catalyst 6.5 drivers from the cd and restart when prompted by the installer it it works. but after i restart again it stops and goes to the only pci slot working mode.
any one have any ideas?
sorry for my poor english, im still learning it =/
