I have my video card in my first pci slot, but I was wondering if it is possible to just have it in my second pci slot instead? Is this a no no, would it affect the performance of the MB or the VD, or is it just better to have it in the first pci slot.

B/c it would be nice to get my video card a little bit further away from my CPU and open up a little bit more room around my NB and SB for air.

MB: P5N-32 E Sli
CPU: Q6600
VD: 8800 GTS (g80) 640mb
Mem: 4GB Patriot
HD: 2 Raid 0 Seagate 320GB / 1 500 Seagate
Windows Vista 64x
 
You say PCI, but I'm sure you mean PCI-E... Not that it matters, but no, it should not matter which slot you use. Your mobo should allow you to use either one. Usually there is an option in BIOS, on which one to use as the primary. I don't see why it wouldn't auto detect though. Most mobos are forgiving enough to choose themselves.
