I was given an ATI 4870 x2. It installed and plays correctly and smoothly. But for some odd reason my computer only reads 1 gb of the 2 gigs it claims to have.

And under the Control Center it says that I have a disabled adapter which would explain the missing gig.

But under the Device Manager it says that both of the adapters are enabled and are working.
I'm aware that 2 gigs are overkill for a setup like mine running at 1600 x 1200, but I feel slightly cheated out of a gig .
Do I have to plug in another monitor, or can I use a both of those gigs on one?
I have an MSI P45 motherboard supporting crossfire.
