Hello, yeah, yeah, I'm complaining again heh. This time I have a problem with my pci-express slot. Well, actually there's no problem, I just need to be sure of something. As I mentioned earlier in a thread, I'm planning to buy a 8800gts video card. We all know that it's huge, anyway, I'm not worried about the length; I'm worried that I won't be able to push it all the way into my pci-E slot because of the pci slot that is right under the pci-E slot. I hope that I'm making sense. The pci slot under the pci-E slot is wider (looking at it when the computer is laying horizontally, lets say that the pci slot is taller than the pci-E slot). this is my motherboard: Intel® Desktop Board D945GPM

You can see that the pci slots are wider or taller... Can anyone help me on this one???!!! because I really wan't to by that card : :(

p.s. I'm happy that I registered to this forum, pretty much always got a satisfying answer.... ;)
