Installing Radeon HD 4870

[z0dd]

Before I install my HD 4870 I wanted to know:

1. Does it matter which slot the board is in and is there a performance difference in the slots (PCIEX16_1 or PCIEX16_2) ?
2. My PowerColor HD 4870 has 2 DVI connectors. Does it matter which one I plug my single monitor into?

I scoured PowerColor's site and their 1 page manual and didn't find any information on this.

1. Depends on your board, some boards have slots that run at a slower speed. Check your manual.
2. I don't believe it does, I usually just use the "top" one.
