Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love the card but the only thing is that it is blocking my only other available PCI slot (which of course is next to my PCI-E slot that the vid card sits in). I'd like to fill that remaining PCI slot with a sound card being as I only have on board sound right now.

Just checking a few places online right now and it's pretty slim pickins for some reason. Looking for another PCI-E card that will offer similar performance.

Suggestions?

(Note: I'm in Canada, so it needs to be available to me up here).

Just use the onboard sound, honestly. It's not worth forking over money to replace your 6800 ultra.

Damnit.

Your link is dead. And all 7800GT's/GTX's that follow nvidia's reference design have single slot cooling solutions. Including BFG.

Whoops, sorry. Link works now.

Sorry I'm confused by your post, so it SHOULD only take up one slot eventhough BFG's site says otherwise?
