With regard to the slots on your new ECS G31T-M motherboard, it offers one 
16x PCI-E slot, one 1x PCI-E slot (the small one), and 2 standard PCI slots. 
(This address may require cutting and pasting due to its length, but here 
are the specifications:

Here's the short version, http://tinyurl.com/3mjgrd

This motherboard only supports a single PCI-E video card (the 16x PCI-E 
slot).  The smaller PCI-E slot will be useful for cards like audio, network, 
USB, and HDD controller cards in a PCI-E format.

It also has onboard graphics, if you don't want to install a dedicated video 
card.

 I recently bought a micro ATX mobo  (ECS
G31T-M) that ended up costing the price of shipping after rebate! It has 
the
small 16x PCI-E slot beside the regular PCI-E slot but the manual doesn't
cover how to use it. Have you used this configuration? Does it connect by 
cable
to the PCI-E card? if so would said cable come with the video card or do I
need  to get it separately?
