    2nd PCIE suggestions

    Hi all,

    I've just purchased an asus p5q pro turbo mobo which has a 2nd PCIE slot - sadly due to capacitor locations the 2nd graphics card I've got that I wanted to put in here doesn't fit. It's only a small low power card but it has an extra heat sink on the side which is causing the problem.

    Does anyone have any suggestions of cards that would fit? If anyone has the mobo what card do you have in teh secondary slots?

    Thanks!

    What do you need to go in there? Seems a bit pointless to put a card there just because you've a slot

    Well I have 2 screens that I do work on and then a 32" screen that I watch all my tv/movies on - Normally I just switch out the 2nd slot but if I can get all 3 up and running at the same time that would be the desired situation!
