Oh, I forgot. One of the radioshacks had some 100 ohm resistors. Would that work?
Yes
Yup, 75-78-100 ohm.

I really don't know much about this kinda stuff, and don't want to fry my cards lol

It seems that every pc shop and radioshack within 50 miles of me is out of stock. One store did have 78 ohm resistors at 1/8th watt. Does the wattage matter? Would say a ~48 ohm 1/4w or 1/2w work? I'm trying to figure this out.
Thanks

Interesting, let us know how you get on mufa.
Mine would run without dummy plugs but Afterburner would not detect and let me select it without one.
Window 7 64 and the latest beta drivers for the cards.

Yeah, I just did a clean install on both rigs yesterday. It seems that the cards are detected by windows, except for the first card. And that's with running the cards in both the 1x and the 16x slots. I guess I'll be stopping by radioshack later today.
I built 3 rigs recently on Windows 7 and the only dummy plug i installed was on the 1st card (I run them without any connections except power/network and use VNC to remote). All cards after the 1st in each rig did not need a plug. This is using 13.1 ATI drivers and Win7 64-bit. Hope that helps.
I haven't needed the dummy plugs since before 12.6 on win7 boxes. Are you sure you have done a clean install?
I read someone on this forum that with the 12.8 driver, dummy plugs are no longer needed. Just got two windows machines up and running using the 12.8 driver, but I can't seem to access the extra videocards on the motherboards.
I didn't know if the rumor was false, and that I'd have to go make myself some. Or if it is true, and something else is causing the issue that dummy plugs won't fix.

It's very odd, at one point of time, when I was bitcoin mining, I didn't need dummy plugs, then for some reason, all of a sudden I needed dummy plugs. Can't hurt to try. Only few bucks for the resisters at radio shack. I'm sure you already have the adapters.
