Thanks. In that case I think I have an open and convenient one (from the last time I opened this up two days ago). I'll post back tomorrow with which one is open-- thanks so much for all of your help!
In case one of the larger ones is filled, are their recommendations for the smaller sizes named? (I'll take a photo when I get back in case I misidentify, that's one thing I'm a tad paranoid about).
I gave you 2 PCI links.....Stormy gave you 2 PCIe links.....here is a 1x PCIe linkNewegg.com - HIS H545H1GD1 Radeon HD 5450 Silence 1GB 64-bit DDR3 PCI Express x1 Low Profile Video Card with Eyefinity
Again expensive.....
Thanks. :) I'm sorry if this all seems a little silly: this is my first time working with hardware. I've spent a long time working with software, but my computers have mostly been laptops where the only customization possible was just swapping in and out RAM.
After checking, it looks like my PCIe x16 is open-- so I should be more or less good to go with one of those results, right? I've attached a picture of my motherboard just to make sure. Thanks!
