Installing 2nd ATI 5850's

[iFrag]

Hi Folks,


I've just got my hands on a second 5850, ideally I want to run this just as a BitCoin miner so no need to crossfire them.

Is there anything I need to do other than Plug'n'Play?

Also, the two cards are different brands, which is better for gaming or are they the same?
