i just got my 8rda+ but there is a pci slot right next to the agp slot on this board, unlike my 8rda3+ which had empty space. the vga sliencer sits ontop of the 1st pci slot making it impossible to put the card in with the vga sliencer on. has anyone fixed this problem before, or should i just start hacking away at the bottom of the vga sliencer with my dremel?

Heh, who uses PCI 1 anyways?

Besides, you'll need the xtra support that PCI 1 slot hanger gives........after all, the VGA Silencer is very heavy, too heavy for the average AGP socket.
