I have dual nVidia 7800GTX video cards in an SLI arrangement. Each card has two monitor outputs. If I use dual monitors, which way would be recommended, to connect both monitors to one card or to put one on each? Would there be a significant performance difference between the two configurations?

I have tried re-setting to a month ago - no difference. I have checked that the hard disk drive is the first option for booting up. I have left the computer on standby overnight to recharge a possibly run-down battery - no difference. What else can I try or ought I to check please?

I'm trying to use SpeedFan but I don't know what to configure because I don't know the model and type of motherboard I have.
I have an Intel Pentium 4 CPU with HT enabled and 3.20 GHz clock speed. Bus speed is 200 MHz and rated FSB 800 MHz.
I used CPU-Z and it told me I had an Intel D915GRO motherboard but I can't find Intel in speedfan.
