    install the 2nd Card, let windows do its thing, Use the main power full card for gaming and its own drivers, should be just fine, no different too having 2 different hard drives.
    Hi guys! Sorry not to post but I was awaiting hardware from Newegg that was delayed because of the holiday Monday.

    It went exactly as mrdemon said. Put the old card in my other pci-e slot & Windows found what it needed. I'll do some render comparisons to see if my speeds have increased. I really hated to give up the second monitor (for the sake of increased render speeds) as it make video editing much easier on a larger screen.

    I guess I can also do a separate EyeOne3 monitor setup now that I have a second card installed. EyeOne3 software has been bugging me to do so but it wasn't possible with just one graphic card, or so I read. I did try but it through my other monitor's color off. We'll see if this makes a difference.

    I'm marking this as solved. Thanks everyone! :)

    I thought I'd followup on monitor calibration. I use EyeOne Display 2 to calibrate my monitor. I had read that I would need a second graphic card for calibration but have found that, with Windows 7 & maybe Vista, that's not true. I couldn't find any explanation in EyeOne3 help how to do this so I called the company. All they could tell me was it would work. After playing with it for awhile I got it. The trick is to move the EyeOne3 window to the monitor you wish to calibrate & go from there. Simple as that.
