Good question....too many in my opinion. If this trend continues MB mfg will have to change designs.

I think it just takes up 2 slots. HIS already had a similar design with the 9800 cards.

2 slots is too many! The 875P Intel MB that came on my dell has only 4. My 9800PRO on it already takes up 1 of my PCI slots. Well, I seem to be able to squeeze a card on that slot but the leads on the back of that card may very well jam my video card's fan.

Too bad they never designed MBs with AGP slots at the bottom with space or even just giving it space before the PCI slots.
