Hi,

I am planning to use two video card. My main card is a ATI EAH4890 and I plan on installing a EAH4650 on the second PCIe Slot. I will use the 4890 to use both my main display (2x22"), and I will use my second to plug my HD TV and a 22inch.

First question :

The Spec on my motherboard says...

"2 x PCI Expresse x 16 slots (Blue @ x16 mode, black @ x4 or x1 mode)"

Does that mean that I should plug my main card in the blue one. And if I do, does that mean that the second will only run at x4?

Second Question :

Will I be able to run four display at a time, or should I make some presets in catalyst to choose those I wish to use at any given time.

Thank you!
