Video Cards and modem...

I may come off as a novice when it comes to computers, but I was going to order a PC for my father, and living in a mountain cottage away from society he would need a 56K modem to get net access. My question is why is there a problem when I try to get dual video cards and a modem. If I am thinking correctly the video cards go in the PCI express slots and the modem would go in a standard PCI slot, so why can't the two options co-exist?

    What problem?  There's 2 different modems you can order.  The default is no modem.  Click on the blue downarrow on the right to see the modem options.

    When I choose dual video cards and one of the modems, it re-directs me back to the page saying that their is a hardware conflict, and says I have to change the modem option to none if I want to have the dual video cards.

    I have the same problem... with the two video , tv tuner and the Audigy cards there is simply no way to cram a modem in there. You can buy an external (USB or serial) and hook it up, this will work.
