Video Card
Hi, the secondary video card that came equipped with my dell vosotro 220 is not recognized by my computer. I am using the included driver and utilities cd to reinstall all required drivers. My question is, do I need both video cards installed when downloading the driver and utilities cd or should i install the video card after downloads are complete. Thanks
