Hi Micha, Sorry to tell you, but don't hold your hopes too high, as this guy here ( http://communities.intel.com/thread/5598) tried almost the same thing (2 graphics cards), and the machine didn't even do a full POST. It's a really crappy board. I thought of suggesting to use to try coreboot (LinuxBIOS) but the P35 chipset isn't supported yet.
