    Questions about PCIe x16 video card slot compatibility

    Do PCIe X16 video cards physically "fit" into x4 or x8 slots?

    I was under the impression that the cards wouldn't physically fit into the slot, but I've come across multiple sites that contain articles of video cards going into x8 and x4 slots (non-SLI operation).
    [http://www.gamepc.com/labs/view_cont...okie%5Ftest=1]

    Basically I have Dell PowerEdge 1420SC server, which contains a x8 slot, and I'd rather use up that x8 slot for graphics (If possible) than use up a PCI slot for graphics.

    Thanks
