According to the chart, your combo isn't going to work. Only car combos in the colored are going to work.

Sorry.

it is in red with the dot.

My bad. I see it now. But "red" signifies that it requires an external cable. (Seems neither of us can read this friggin' chart!)

I found a thread where someone with your board contacted ATI and ther respose was that you needed to use the internal cable. It was specific for that chipset and a 3400 series card. Don't know if that would apply to you.

X1950 pros need both interconnect cables. It's pretty obvious isn't it? There are 2 sets of goldfingers on each card.
