The following are just generic comments about putting 2 Nvidia cards in the 
same PC.

On Linux if you get no video from the PCI graphics card but do from PCIe (or 
AGP), you may need to use the use the Int10 module to initialize the PCI 
card, i.e. in the xorg.conf file's "Device" section for the PCI card add:
    Option      "UseInt10Module" "1"

On Windows if you get no video from the PCI with the latest Nvidia drivers, 
then try earlier versions. I had to do this once.

If you are using a Dell with multiple Nvidia cards, don't select the "auto" 
video option in the BIOS as you may not get anything from any of the 
videocards. Interestingly I don't run into this problem with ATI cards.

Cheers,
Doug
