8800 GT OC on current motherboard

Yes, I was wondering if I could fit or install a nVidia 8800 GT OC on my current mother board:

8800 GT:

My current motherboard:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/d...27366&lang=en#

Only reason I ask is that someone told me that the video card would not fit in my current rig.

Thanks in advance.

Re: 8800 GT OC on current motherboard

Expansion slots

* Three PCI
* One PCI Express (No AGP slot)
I don't see a PCIEx16 slot listed so I would say no.
The other thing to know is that it is a large card so if the case is small even if it does have the right slot it probably won't fit in the case or have enough power to supply it.

Re: 8800 GT OC on current motherboard

I agree with my team mate wrench97. Your motherboard won't accept this card, and like he said, even if it did, there would be issues with size and power you would have to deal with.
