Asus board for video card?

    I recently purchased an ATI X850XT AGP video card. My problem is that the
    card is extra thick (large cooling fan...
    http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/Sapphire/Radeonx850xtpeagp/4) and takes
    up the first available PCI slot under the AGP slot.

    My question is, does a motherboard exist that has more gap between the AGP
    and first PCI to accomodate these chubby video cards? It would be nice if
    the motherboard had built-in network and sound (I need 2 sound cards) as to
    leave more options for future card (already have a modem and soundblaster
    5.1 card taking up 2 slots (no room left for anything else). My current
    MOBO only has three PCI slots, and the video card covers one of them.

    While the P5P800 does not have the extra space you inquired about, it
    does have 5 PCI slots so you would still have 4 available. It also has
    on board sound and gigabyte LAN.

    Looks like a nice board. I decided to take this to
    as it is probably more appropriate.
    Thanks for the advice.
