On my video card I broke off two of those little rectagular things on the PCB beside the RAM chips. What will happen if I try to boot with this card on my mobo?

DO NOT even think of trying it, the last person i know that did that fried the mobo, vcard, cpu all in one boot.

Sorry, but they are the most important part of the card, besides the gpu.
