Default Dual Nvidia GeForce 7900GT Cards and Vista Question?
Alright before I installed Vista, I had 2 Nvidia 7900GT in dual mode.

I took one out just incase Vista couldn't handle it or whatnot.

I would like to install the other card back in, is it safe to do this? Anything I need to remove or add before I do this?

The latest NVIDIA drivers support SLI, so it should probably be okay.

Since the cards are deemed as plug and play then Windows will just install the drivers on boot. Simply install the second card and then install the drivers.

Only consider doing what you are thinking of doing wrt installing sotware if it doesn't recognize and install off the bat.

install the card, install the nvidia drivers expect issues since they are beta.
