Question : Problem: Dell XPS with nVidia 8600 SLI Problem

I have a Dell XPS unit that came with 2 Gforce 7900 cards in SLI mode. I am trying to upgrade those cards with 2 Gforce 8600 cards also in SLI mode. I have the latest drivers installed off of nVidia's website.

The problem is with the new cards Windows XP's device manager will not activate the 2nd card. It states that "There are not enough free resources available."  If the unit previously had 2 cards in SLI mode, why would there be a problem now?

Anyone have any suggestions as to what may be wrong and how to fix it?

Thanks.
