Pci-express 1.0 & 2.0 question

**Capt Nemo** · February 28th 08, 03:36 AM posted to alt.comp.periphs.videocards.nvidia

My motherboard is an intel D915PBL with a 3.2 GHz processor. I know my pci-e
express is version 1.0. If I upgrade the videocard to an nvidia 2.0 card,
will my motherboard be Ok with that? Are the new videocards backward
compatible?
