Question about crossfire

[Peppered]

This may be a odd question but what card do I hook my monitor up to. The one on the primary PCIX slot ( were you would have you card if only using a a single GPU) or the the second card that is in the second PCIX slot?
I look threw some video on you tube showing cards in cross fire but the never showed the back of the case. the instructions I got with the cards never showed what was the proper way either.

top card

This --- 99% of the time.

There is a PCIe x16 master slot.

That said, there are some motherboards where the 'top' PCIe x16 slot is not the master (the original Biostar AM2+ 790gx, as an example).

At this time one is in the PCIe x16 slot the second one is in the PCIe x8 slot.
I have a device on the way that will let me put the second on in the other PCIe x16 slot.

I ask this because long ago when we used add on cards that did only the 3D graphics you always hooked it up to the add on card.

Being there is a crossfire cable hooking the two together I thought I may have to hook up on the secondary one in the PCIe x8 slot in order to get the use of the second card.

This is on a evga x58 classified board if that matters
