Hey,

here are some basic specs on my computer before i continue (Questions below):

- i have a nVidia quadro 3500 card connected to two 24" widescreen monitors.
- ASUS p5k deluxe MOBO
- 4 gigs og DDR2-800 RAM
-Windows vista premium 64 bit
- intel core 2 quad prossesor

What i am wanting to do is connect another video card (The Nvidia 8800 GTX) here are my questions:
1. When connecting another Video card will it combine both of their abilities together?
2. If so Will it always do this?
3. Are there more than one way to connect video cards?
4. If so what is the best way?
5. Will an SLI connection work considering i have two monitors hooked up (The Quadro card has two Connections for monitors that i wish to keep hooked up)?
6. Anything else AT ALL you think i should know.

Once again thank you so much for your help!
