    ati pci express help

    I just bought the ati x800 xl pci express 16x. Ater installing drivers and all when I go to device manager it says under display adapters:
    Radeon x800 series
    Radeon x800 series-secondary

    Why two?? Does anyone else have ati and knows why this is. And also in my mobo's PNP/PCI configurations page in bios under init display why does it say pci slot not pci ex?? Will it just automatically work in pci express mode when the computer is booted or should i change the settings. I didnt touch the settings because in the mobo manual it says only experienced users should make any changes to the default settings. Thanks

    This is a Windows 2000/XP issue which should NOT be fixed, it's how these OS's support mutliple monitors.

    If it's working, you don't need to change it.
