Hello. I have an amd athlon x2 4400: http://www.newegg.com/product/product.aspx?item=N82E16819103776
That processor is in my currrent computer: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01048277&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=ca&product=3436818〈=en
And this is the new graphics card that i want to buy and put in that hp pavillion: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150448
My first initial thought is that it was going to not fit in the pcie x16 1.0, because the ram was right behind it and i was afraid that it would bump into the ram slots.

Scrolll down half way on that page and you will see a diagram of my motherboard that i want to put tthe 5750 inside.
But then i asked on vista forums and they said that i wouldnt have a problem, and i asked my uncle (IT pro) and he said that i wouldnt have a problem.
But now, another thought which holds my mind back, is my processor ok to run with the hd radeon 5750, and there is also a heatsink right behind the pcieX16, do you think that it will bump into the graphics card, making it not fit into the pcie slot??
Thanks for your thoughts, Kelvin.
Oh and is pcie 2.1 backwards compatible with pcie 1.0? <<- doesnt really relate to the issue but i couldnt find the answer in google.
