Upgrading to SLI

Okay, for those that may have noticed, I have been posting asking questions about SLI (PSU's and recertified cards.) Anyways, I ordered my second eVGA Geforce 7800GT. I have heard of people having troubles with simply inserting the second card and downloading the SLI drivers. Can anyone tell me exactly what I need to do to upgrade my system? All I have found through my searching was people building new machines in which they started with SLI, I wish to upgrade without completly rebuilding. Thank you much.

Incase it helps, my rig:
MotherBoard: ASUS A8N-SLI Deluxe
Processor: AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 3800+ (with ASUS Silent Square heatsink)
Memory: 2 Gigs of.../shrug
HDD: 120 GB seagate technologies
Graphics Card: eVGA NVIDIA Geforce 7800 GT (soon to have SLI)
Power Suply Unit: Antec 2.0 Smart Power 500W PSU
Case: Antec P180 Performance Case, with 4 120MM Fans
 
just pop in the card, boot the pc up,.. go into the Nvidia drivers propperty's,.. find the SLI tab, and enable it.
Most likely you have to reboot after that, but thats it.

also,.. i think your botherboard has a manual SLI switch, you have to set that one to SLI too :)
 
even if you have the Nvidia drivers installed wich came with your card, they can already anable SLI :)
so just insert the hardware right, boot up, and enable :o
