New (old Dell Precision T5400)

My graphics card covers the slot that my wifi card would fit into, Can I get a wifi card to fit into any of the other slots?

In the photo, the blue slot is used by the graphics card but it covers the white one above it too, big fat beasty graphics card

I had the same problem. I just bought a USB WiFi dongle for a couple of quid, which solves the problem altogether.

However, if you're an OCD type then you may be unable to accept this...

Cool, thanks, thought so, nice to see someone else's opinion,

Looking forwards to twin quad core 2.66ghz processors and 750 gb of graphics card.

No much maybe by today's standards but for what I paid......
