lol, it is ok, it has cleaned up alot of things now :D so my computer actually loads a little faster, I think the cards were fighting each other, but that explains why I could hook the cable into the old one, and it still work, no as long as this card does not go bad :D

On board cards also usually eat up 4-32 megs of your RAM for video memory. Even though a monitor isn't hooked up to it, it still processes video data just like one was.

One plus of two cards is that you can hook up two monitors and span your desktop across them. You get twice as much space! This is usually only useful for graphic designers, programmers, etc. Anyone who needs a bunch of things open and keeps going between them.
