I have a Tyan S2915 board and I install two 8800GTS cards in the PCI-e x16
slots and 1 audigy 2 ZS PCI coard in the bottom PCI-X slot and under
windows I can't get one of the cards to activate. It shows a resource error
on of the cards (code 12) and no matter what I have tried to disable in the
bios I just can't get the other video card to activate.

I don't see how it can be a hardware problem since I also have linux
installed on the box and everything is working flawlessly under that. I can
turn on every hardware device on the motherboard and stuff gets put between
irqs 0 and 233 with on issues. On windows it seems stuff is being only put
up to irq 22 or so but the device manager does show that it found the APIC.

What should I look into to get this working? I have tried xp 32bit before
and upgraded to xp 64 since I have 2 cpus and 8gigs of ram and xp64 sees
all of that just fine. They just can't activate that second video card.

Thanks

I'm not sure I know this, but what driver are you using - standard nVidia
drivers may not handle this, if you get your drivers from the card's
manufacturer, then it should work.

Personally, if there are any issues of any kind I get my drivers from:

http://www.ngohq.com/home.php?page=Latest

I am running the '8456', and that has a config (tab/button?) specifically
for SLI. I have not looked inside that tab, I have only one of my sockets in
use at the moment. It is the first time I ever see this in a driver,
ordinarily I would expect that to sit in the BIOS, you may actually need a
BIOS upgrade, at that?


Have you tried booting with the Audigy card removed - not just disabled?

I am running the nvidia drivers that came on the driver cd however that is
not the issue. Even if I tell the cards to use the standard vga driver one
of them won't initialize. This is something outside a video driver problem.
For some reason the os is not allocating resources to run that device and
the hardware is perfectly capable of it as another os has demonstrated on
that exact same hardware.

There are not bios upgrades for this board. Also those drivers won't work
for my anyways since the 8800 is not supported by those drivers.

I have not tried removing the audigy card since all the stuff is working
fine in linux. How can the audigy card be causing the problem if the exact
same system is working with a different os?

A case of 'Applied Serendipity' from leafing through my motherboard manual
in a different errand, has me looking on a page saying:

'Enabling the multi-GPU feature in Windows.'

If it is as simple as that, you can do it - apparently the only way, too -
from the 'nView Properties' page in your driver.

Sorry, if I missed this - but I am only on a single card myself at the
moment.
