Look at the WIFI card. There are three types of PCI interfaces. There is PCI Express (the GPU slot), PCI x1 (the smallest ones) and PCI slots, which look like PCI Express slots, but don't have the little clip to retain the GPU. From the info I gave you, can you tell me what kind of connector the WIFI card has?

EDIT: It has a x1 connector, so you can put it in the large white slot on the bottom of the board.

I have one 1 pci express slot, 1 pci x1 slot and 1 PCI slot. My PCI express slot is being taken up by my gpu and it's covering my pci x1 slot. So then i got 1 PCI slot and thats what i want to put my wifi card into. My wifi card has the PCI x1 slot so it fits in the smallest one.

Where the split is. You can see that a x1 slot looks exactly like the first part of a regular PCI slot.

Well he did it because the board does support it, it just has to over clock it back up to 1866Mhz.
