OK, I'm going crazy getting three video cards to work nicely. I have a pair of 9800GTX+ and added a 9800GX2 to the mix. I all of a sudden get extremely slow boots (30ish progress scroll bars at boot time).

I'm getting weird issues:

It boots with the second DVI port on the GX2 in slot 1. But switches to 9800GTX+ in slot 2 during progress bar and I have to type my password blond and then it switches back to GX2 (well sometime).

I have big issues with the second 9800GTX+ in slot 3 registering at all. Device manager only show 1 9800GTX along with the two 9800GX2.

I tried unplugging my second monitor from slot 2 and removing my vga dummy plugs so it registers only the 9800GX2's second port, but it still picks up the 9800GTX+ in the second port and nvidia's control panel there is a standard vga monitor plugged into it.

This is sure getting whacky. Right now I just finished reinstalling vista ult x64 and hoping it smoothes out for me. so far it shows 2 std. vga cards installed. I'm guessing both 9800GX2 ports.

Any tips for getting all three vid ports going at once (non-sli)
