* Lucid® LT24102 chipset allows you can use the graphics cards from different vendors. To make A-mode, N-mode and X-mode work, you need to install the software drivers we provide. If your graphics cards are under ATI 4xxx, using driver 1.3.105 will get better perfomace. If you are using ATI 5xxx, you must install driver 1.4.106.

* For Multi-GPU Computing driver ver 1.3.105 we recommend you install NVIDIA graphic card to the first PCI-E X16 slot while running X mode
* For Multi-GPU Computing driver ver 1.5.106 we recommend you connect the display to the stronger graphics card while running non-identical A&N modes and X mode
* This message would update on web page if needed when new Multi-GPU Computing driver has any further suggestion.
