As the title states, my recent graphics card that i have just bought does not fit in my system. The card itself is a ati sapphire 5670 and the problem that i am encountering is that the card requires dual slots,but my system can only support a single slot. My system is an hp pavilion p67000z desktop buy the way, if any are wondering. Please help and thanks a ton.

What they mean by dual slots is that the card will cover one of your pci slots but not utilize the slot the hd 5670 only uses one PCIE x16 slot.

Agreed - a low profile card will not block the other the other slot.
