I have an hp d500t elite, and i had thought a while back about running dual cards in SLI. After doing some research, i found that i have only 1 x16 slot, but 2 open x1 slots.

I found that on ebay, and i was wondering if it would work so i could run dual cards. I have an Nvidia 9600GS 768mb, and a 460w power supply. Would another 9600gs work ok with mine? Is the power supply strong enough to handle two cards? Would the adapter not be able to handle the card at the right speed because it is going through an x1 slot? Is there any software needed to run dual cards?
My pc specs:
Intel Core 2 Quad Q9450(2.66ghz)
8gb RAM
1.5tb hard drive (2x750gb)
460w psu
Nvidia 9600GS 768mb
Sound Blaster X-fi Xtreme gamer
Thanks for your help.
