When I started it, my on-board HDMI port = wasn=E2=80=99t detected. So now your 6150 board is serving both of my HDMI = lines. Plug and Play.

One of my cables (a 50-foot = HDMI) is so fat and stiff that it risks twisting the on-board socket and br= eaking a contact on the mother board. The twin pigtail connectors on the 61= 50 you gave me is ideal for that =E2=80=94 It goes with the flow.

Thanks again!
