Ok like the title said, I got a GeForce 5900 AGP, 128MB DDR -850mhz, on the box it says it takes up two slots, one AGP and one PCI, however, when I look at the card it only has an AGP slot on it. (I think anyway....maybe it's a PCI [computer dumb]). I'm just wondering if I'm missing something or did I get a mixed up card. The box came brand new right from Circut City, still in the factory wrapping.

Thanks.

Oh man I am such a dumboscar! Ok I looked at it an saw what it ment. The card has a HUGE heatsink and cooling fan on it, and because of the size it takes up the space where a PCI card would go. It doesn't actually plug into the PCI slot.

Well for my gaming uses it's great! Bare it mind though, unlike some of the guys here I don't push it to the max. Mainly cause I don't know how.

But IMO it's worth the money.
