Vista - DUAL NVIDIA CARDS

I know that nVidia doesn't have drivers to enable SLi in Vista so I have a
question. I have a new system that I just took out of the box. It has dual
video cards. Does it matter which one I plug my monitor in to? I hope I
don't sound too dumb but this is my first foray into this area.

You couldn't try each one to see which one works?

You can use either one, but be aware that you may have to specify in BIOS
which one you are going to use.

If the screen is blank when you boot, connect your monitor to the other
card!

I have a SLI set up and must use the top card or it will not work.

Looking at the back of the PC - Plug the cable into the left most connection
of the top card.
