Hi all,

I'm about to get a Nvidia 7950GT graphics card, but I'm unsure if I can install a second card, e.g. a 7900GS, and take advantage of it. If one need to have similar cards, is it enough that the chipset is the same, or does the card manufacturer have to be the same as well, e.g. my new card will be from Gainward.

Thanks in advance.
