Had a system in the shop recently with no video - it was an Asus SLI board.

The Asus boards require that the single card be in a specific slot, and this board also had a "chip" between the 2 PCI-e slots that had to be changed to set the SLI/non-SLI mode.

Did not know that.

But does it matter in which slot you insert the GPU into if you only have one?

Depending on the make of the mother board Yes it does

The ASUS P5GZ-MX doesn't have the features of the board that I had in the shop (and it doesn't have the card to flip from non-SLI to SLI). I discovered the quirks of the board in the shop by reading the boards manual. Perhaps you could find this information in your manual?
