Would a 5770/6770 fit this mobo?

Sorry for the numerous threads instigated by my feeble knowledge of PCs. Am looking to get this card and was wondering if it would fit this mobo.. I know it's an ancient mobo and everyone probably a bit disgusted by the sight of it. Technically, it should.. given that there's a PCIE slot. However my worries are the size of the thing and whether or not it would actually fit. Really don't want to spend money on a card that doesn't fit. Thoughts would be much appreciated.

Ok, great. Thanks for your help. One more thing, do you know if there is a difference in size between the two cards? I know they are pretty much exactly the same technically, but is the 6770 bigger?
 
Looks like an Acer branded ECS 945G board? If so should be fine, I've seen a few of them with HD5830s running information screens of all things. The only issue with those was the SATA port placement and getting a cable in, but 5770/6770 shrouds tend to be tapered and a lot shorter
 
Both 5770 and 6770 are exactly the same, so yes it will be the same size. I think the 6770 has better HDMI features though.
