  5. I guess I have the same problem as ttblogger because I can’t see anything on the dual screens. Does that mean I need to know how to disable an onboard video card? Help. Thanks

    You plug the 6 ping power into the graphics card itself. It has a socket right on the end of it. Also you need a power supply that supports pci-e motherboards. Because they usually come with the 6 pin adapters as standard.

    I bought a nice mother board(775 socket) and nice video card( Sparkle Calibre-P960-GBOX) for it. The question is..."Are they compatible”. The display says there’s no signal and I don’t know what I’m doing wrong.
