Quick (stupid) question...
I have a P5N32e motherboard. The x1 slot on the right is filled and the one on the left is covered by the gfx card in the blue x16 slot between them. Now...:o :o

1. .. can I slot another x1 card (tv-tuner) in the open blue x16 slot on the left ?
or
2.....can I just move the gfx card to one of the other x16 slots or does a single card need to be a a specific x16 slot ? Does it matter whether it goes into the white x16 or the blue x16 ?

I'd prefer option 1 , since I don't like a gfx card at the bottom of the case
 
Without knowing that exact MOBO, I would say yes, yes, no. Somebody else may have different experience specific to that device.
