Anyone got one of these and know the size of it? Does it take up more than
one slot? The PCI slot next to the PCI express slot is taken so I hope the
X700 can fit

thanks
Bill

I don't have an answer to the question, however, on another note - I
don't know if this applies to PCI-Express, but I know on AGP
motherboards there is a recommendation to leave the PCI slot next to the
AGP slot free in order to improve system stability/performance with your
gfx gard (even with APIC which handles expanding and configuring
interrupts).

With the reference-cooler this should be a problem, at least not when
it comes to space. Thus, it can be good for the coolers efficiency to
not have a another board so close to the videoboard.

You don't have any other free PCI-slots that you can use for the board
next to the PCI-E 16x-slot?

Unfortunately I dont...I have 3 PCI slots, one has a sound card, the other a
modem, and the 3 rd a firewire card just installed yesterday, hence my
question. I dint know they were so close. Even rearranging them may not
help...I may have to try and lose the modem and find a work around..it
handles my business faxes..

Thanks

Are all these PCI-board full-hight?

What PCI-e motherbaord comes without native chipset support for "firewire"?

.... don't tell me, ATI chipset boards!

Go over to the Intel site and you'll find that the D915 boards don't have
native Firewire. What Intel was thinking (assuming Intel is capable of
thinking, which is becoming more and more debatable) is beyond me but they
didn't include it.
