Everyone helped the last time I asked about graphics cards but I have a
little problem. I went to PC world yesterday and bought a Radeon X1950
PRO 512MB GDDR3 PCIE.

Got it home and found that it would not fit my mobo. The mobo I have is
a foxconn 6100 k8ma-rs

Is there a smaller version of the Radeon X1950 PRO 512MB GDDR3 PCIE that
would fit my foxconn board...

thanks

sorry for the trouble
 
Just looked up your board and it uses PCI-E video card what you have
should work from all I see

Is it your computer case that is too small ?

The card here appears to be about 215mm (8.5") long.

And a quick look at some pictures on Newegg, they all seem to be about the same length.

Front view - reference cooler keepout zone is probably common to all cards.

Back view - this is an AGP version (Rialto in pink), but I wouldn't
expect the PCI Express design to be that much different.

Just dremel out part of your hard drive rack, and then
there'll be room :-)

And if you do that, remove all hardware first, and vacuum out
the case once surgery is finished. Then reinstall the hardware.
The vacuum is important, to avoid metal fragments going places
they shouldn't.
