Joined a couple of weeks ago and have been posting up regularly but never thought to ask about this
A while ago i had to replace my Mobo as i had left the case cover off and the window open and rain got inside the machine, therefore replaced the mobo with a Gigabyte G41M-combo board
Have been runnning onboard graphics ever since then as for some reason cant get my nVidia GeForce 8600 GTS to work, tried installing drivers and still nothing, cant see it in device manager either, dont know if its a BIOS change i need to make or what but it doesnt seem to like the card, i know the card is pretty old now so im not sure how it compares with new ones, it was pretty good when i got it
but also wondering how it compares to the new nVidia cards, looking at doing an SLI setup at somepoint in the future (once i can afford it)
finally is it possible to run one monitor through onboard graphics and a second through the GTS?
cheers
