It would still collide with the little arm that holds it in place.

I've had a similar experience when trying to use later PCIe GPUs (2009 and onward) in some early PCIe motherboards.
They are simply too long to physically fit, bumping into motherboard capacitors, heat sinks, battery holders, you name it.

Isolate battery edges and arm. Done. Or you can't install the card into slot properly?

It's not fully inserted. At best, I could replace the surface mount polymer capacitors with a through-hole version with some extra length and tilt it out of the way. But I'm not keen on modifying this card and it's the first one out of several that I've bought so far that actually works.

That's what I settled on as the best option, if I want to use this particular motherboard.

Well, yeah, you can always install GeForce FX 5900XT. Although motherboard deserves an axe anyway.
