    Hi there everyone, im new to the forums.

    I have just put in my second 6600GT card. I'm running XP2.

    There are two problems I am having.

    1) My machine doesn't pick up my second graphics card. The fan is spinning on it so it must be working. I have used it individually and it works fine.

    Must I enable the second PCI slot in bios or whatever?

    2) There is no SLI configuration in Nvidia control panel.

    Any information would be appreciated.

    P.S) I have updated to the latest drivers on everything including BIOS.

    Using Everest home edition:

    Display:
    Video Adapter NVIDIA GeForce 6600 GT (128 MB)
    3D Accelerator nVIDIA GeForce 6600 GT PCI-E
    Monitor LG L192WS [NoDB] (1652128194)

    It seems to be picking it up... How do I change from AGP or whatever?

    What motherboard do you have?
    What power supply do you have?

    sli, different from crossfire needs the same branded card, produced in the same technique at the same time :D seems as a soap scenary :D but the sli packed cards are programmed for sli specially

    by the way, have a cold water for yourself after your money - they won't accept any returns for this reason

    and more than sli, buying a new card will be more effective, try to buy a 256bit, 384 bit or even the radeon hd2900xt (512bits and my new card now :D) will make much more difference

    if you need something cheap try 512mb x1950pro or 256mb x1900xt
