    I figured that disabling the 1st card would let me see if the second one worked, but it went right into the intergrated graphics when I did so.

    Do I need to exit SLI to do so?

    What's the procedure?

    How can you test each GPU separately WITHOUT TAKING THE LAPTOP APART?

    *FIXED*

    There has to be a way to run each card separately.

    it's fairly simple.... install 3DMark06, run it once with SLI enabled, and once with SLI disabled.... you should get a significant score difference. 3-4K versus 6-8K points depending on resolution you run it at.
