Quick Question

[Girlicious]

Alright, I recently saved up enough money to buy me a decent graphics card and I came on this thread like a month ago and everyone suggested this graphics card for my system which I'm about to buy

My only concern is that people are saying this is a big card, they said it takes up 2 slots, what does that mean and why is it big?

It's a good thing, the extra slot it takes up allows the graphics card to push some more hot air outside of your case, keeping itself and your other components cooler. Unless you're using all of your PCI slots, it shouldn't be an issue.

Don't, save another $30 and buy the 4770, it only requires a 6pin connector, and its faster then a 4670 and consumes about 20W more during idle/load.
