I am replacing the motherboard and video card in my Alienware Area-51m 7700. I have the new MB but am a little confused over the video card. My question is,

Whats the difference between a daughter card:

and a parent card?:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...em=330341375858

The only difference I know of between these two cards is on the top side one has a red box with a "D" on it and the other one has a "P" on it.

I am hoping to put one of them into a Clevo D900t v 6.2 motherboard.

Thanks for your input.

As far as I can see the Parent card is only used when you use SLI.
