Kind of lost. There are so many different guides and tips online but none of them seem to be working.

I haven't found much information at all regarding the VisionTek card aside from a forum post on another site with a guy saying that a "friend of his" has been using the card successfully.

My setup is as follows:

Mac Pro
Macintosh HD startup
Windows 7 64-bit startup

ATI Radeon x1900XT 512MB
VisionTek ATI 4870 1GB

I also have two superdrives, but in order for me to be able to have both cards connected and powered, I've had to remove the drives so I can hijack their molex power supplies and power the x1900.

I have the Ultimate Boot CD, as well as FreeDOS, but of course I have to reinstall my superdrives to boot them, but then I lose my ability to see anything.

Would making a bootable USB drive work? Any tips or walkthroughs? I hope I'm not completely SOL with this VisionTek card...

EDIT: Also, my system seems to kernel panic when both the x1900 xt and 4870 are in and powered up.
