Help with bus interface

Hi, 1st time in here... do need some help with bus interface.. running gpu-z tells me that my graphic card supports PCI-Express x16 v2.0, however it is currently running at PCI-Express x16 v1.1. To the best of my knowledge, I am not running any power saving features...

Here are the stats of my acer laptop...

intel core 2 duo processor T9600
intel pm45 express chipset
nvidia geforce g105m
vista business x32

How do i get the graphic card to run at v2? I tried changing the PCI-E settings in bios, however there isn't any PCI-settings that I could change! Any help will be greatly appreciated

It's likely a limitation of your motherboard - i.e. your mobo can run it only at 1.1

Afaik, the Mobile Intel® PM45 Express Chipset uses the Intel® 82PM45 Memory Controller Hub(MCH), which uses the PCI-e spec 1.1.
