Hi everyone!
Note 2 on page 12 of the English manual states that two PCI-E graphics cards can be installed, and both slots will run at 4x 1.1 PCI-E standard. I'd like to be able to drive four monitors and so i have bought two Gigabyte 8400GS cards.
Both cards work fine on their own, in either slot, however when I try to use both, only the card specified in INIT DISPLAY FIRST actually works. I can see both cards in the BIOS, however they are using the same IRQ and I suspect this is the problem.
The second card isn't listed in the device list during POST, and windows states that the device cannot start (code 10).
Is the manual wrong and in fact i can't use a second PCI-E card?
Thanks in advance for your help!
