Ah, so. In the latter situation, you'd have to plug the OGD into
the end PCI slot, and not put a board in the AGP slot next door. Of course,
overclocking might not be that much of an issue for the OGD, since it's not
intended for maximum performance in the first place. And an OGC1A goes in
an AGP slot, which does have clearance for a fan intake.
