Hi. I would go with what the manufacturer says. One of those slots may be an AGP card, or your case may be larger and thus have an extra slot that doesn't actually go anywhere. What have you got in those slots anyway, and what are you trying to put in?

However, if that's not possible or practical, run Belarc Advisor, find out the make and model of the Motherboard, and look up the manufacturer's site.
