    I just got my sager 9262. I went to setup the bios and it says that my 8800 is in the daughter board instead of the parent board. Will this negatively affect anything? Any help would be appreciated.

    Well my guess is if it came like that it should be fine.

    First off, before I get to my answer, remember, that's a good question, even though the answer may seem obvious in retrospect.

    Basically, your graphic card can only be a daughter-card, unless you want to take that big slab of PCB out of the case and try to run just using the GPU. :D

    More seriously, though, since, by hoary old IT custom, the main PCB in the computer is called the "motherboard," any expansion PCBs, like a graphics card, that plug into the motherboard are, imaginatively enough :)rolleyes: ), called ..... drum-roll please ..... daughter-boards (or daughtercards). For a very short explanation, see the following webopedia page.

    Anyway, as the other poster said, it came that way, so it should be fine. Now you also know why.
