This means that I've placed the chip for SLI-Mode (you can see the red chip on this image between the two pcie-slots: http://www.etech4sale.com/images/0146000_0146999/146929_h.jpg) This must be done, to run both pcie-slots in 16x mode. If not, only one slot is 16x the other is 1x. And I've connected both cards with a SLI-bridge - but: I don't run use the SLI mode in linux! I'm running a flightsim (x-plane) and have connected three monitors. Because a normal graphics-adapter can handle just 2 monitors there was the need for two graphics-adapters. And they are running fine, if I don't append anything in my lilo.conf! But I can use just on one cpu-core :-( I'm not sure if this is realy a problem with the x-server, or? But I'm really unsure: whats my problem? SMP or Nvidia? >You're welcome since my last message just hang your machine :)) hehe - that's really no problem!!!
