    You will have to give more information to get a valid reply, like motherboard etc

    In what way does it not fit ? Is there not a slot of the proper size to hold or is there somthing too close to that slot that blocks it ?

    I'm presuming your motherboard doesn't have an agp slot and your card is agp.

    Download cpu-z and it will give you information on your cpu, mobo, ram ect.

    Lads, I'd say the problem is that the card is too long, which tends to happen if your case is a bit cramped..
    Not much you can do about it really if that's the case, try flogging it here, or maybe get a new case.
