Guys
Will a PCI E graphics card work ok in a board if the pci slot in the board is PCI E x16?
This card doesn't appear to be x16, but the board I have in mind is i'm sure.
Can someone please confirm?
Cheers...and keep spinnin'...(",)

should do but if the card is faster than 16 x speed will be wasted

But even if the speed is 'wasted', the card should still work?

That is a x16 card -- look at the blade

Thanks for this. Do you think this motherboard and this processor will be good coupled with this graphics card?
Thanks

Might read here about some comments on that board -- I trust the NewEgg'rs --

Thank you again. This is the board I'll be using. Coupled with a dual core pentium d 015 cpu and 7600gt, with 2 gig of 800mhz (soon to be upgraded as required) and 3 sata hard drives, I'm looking for a monster of a system. I'm sure it'll be all good.
I'm not looking to overclock (won't need to) and those comments seem to be largely based on overclocking, but I'll take them on board nonetheless.
Thanks again.
