How many expansion slots will this Nvidia video card take up?

GeForce GT 640

If I have one PCIe x16 and three PCIe x1 slots, how many slots will I have left when fitted with the Nvidia video card above?

What about this OEM version of the same card?

Final question, do Mini PCIe cards slot into PCIe x1 slots?




"If I have one PCIe x16 and three PCIe x1 slots, how many slots will I have left when fitted with the Nvidia video card above?"

I mean how many slots I still have left that I can use. As in slots that are not blocked by the video card.

you will use the pcie x16 slot for the gpu, and will still have the three PCIe x1 slots for other things such as wireless chips, sounds cards etc..
but to answer your question, both cards will use the PCIe x 16 slot

Kinda depends on how tall the cooler is. Doesn't look too big. At most you'll lose one PCI 1x slot, but possibly still be able to use all 3. And of course the PCI Express 16x you will use for the card will be taken up as well.
