as long as you don't have 3 PCI devices installed you're okay, just leave that first PCI slot (the one next to the PCI-E slot) empty...

cool thanks for the reply

The slot won't get in the way unless you have something in it, you will just have an unusable pci slot, thats all. A waste in my opinion.

And btw, I would be checking to make sure the card will have clearance by the ram slots on the motherboard....It's a pretty long card and that is a micro atx motherboard.

and i would make sure your Case will fit the card too.

well i fitted the graphics card today and had no problem with it.

My last question is how do i have different resolutions on each of my monitors?

Thanks

You'll have to go into the ATI control panel and setup each monitor.
