Have any of you managed to get an NVIDIA card working in one slot with CUDA drivers and an ATI card working in other slots? It seems to work with the basic drivers, but Vista (I know) shuts down the NVIDIA cards when I install CUDA. Maybe if I try connecting the monitor to one of the NVIDIA cards it would work. The error message says something about shutting down those displays because they do not support the monitor.

Now down to one Intel Core 2 Quad Q6700 that's in a tiny case and overheats if I actually try to use all four cores at the same time. On the other hand, it makes for a very nice home theater PC

There was something I saw somewhere about a dummy plug that can be made to fool the card into thinking the was a monitor attache when there wasn't one. It required some easy soldering and 3 75 ohm resistors to be bridged across 6 pins. I'll try to find it again.

Here ya go.
I don't know if this will work on an ATI card or not. Where I found this info they use it with NVIDIA cards doing folding. Aparently they're running Vista as well.( I didn't read all of it) I stopped where there was a mention of having to reboot after installing the plug because the're not P n' P compatable. DUH
