this video card has two slots so when i put it in my abit nf7-S 2.0 which slot do i use

there should be a brown slot. that is the AGP slot

Well, you'll be putting it in your AGP slot, and plugging your monitor into the plug that fits.

So, what do you mean?

The blue jack is for your monitor. The bigger, white one is a DVI-out jack. It's for connecting flat-panel monitors.

i mean the video card where the gold pins are what part of the card do you put the first cut or the second cut

[sm8000]

As long as the end of the card (with the monitor jacks) is lined up with where it's supposed to go, everything else should line up. What kind of motherboard do you have? Does it have an AGP Pro slot?

[JPMiller]

It will only go one way...once you have it and look at the board there will be no question .
The "gold pins" will actually slide into the second or right hand part of the AGP slot.

Take a look at this thread. The very last post (by Peter M) should clear it up. Refer to the manuals for your card and for your board (these can also be found on each manufacturer's website).
