Given that we don't know what cards he has, it's possible he has one of combonations notated in tan.

my video cards are hd 4890's and are not represented on the list here... i am assuming that they need a bridge seeing that all the 4800 series cards require them.. what a tool that tech guy was

The only tan ones I saw were:
4670/4650
4650/4650.

yes, 4890s need the bridge, its mostly older lower bandwith cards that dont need it.
