No, PCE-I 2.0 cards won't work in PCI-E 1.0 slot. But if you're talking about PCI-E 2.0, then it will work in PCI-E 1.0 slot.

Are you sure?? I thought the PCI-E 2.0 cards WERE backwards compatible. :confused:

yes it will work, a pci-e 2.0 card will work in any pci-e 1.0 slot, but of course only at 1.0 speeds. a 1.0 card works in a 2.0 slot too, but only at 1.0 speed

Benchmark Scores It does boot up? I think.
Did a little experiment:
It took ~5 seconds to google an answer to this. (searchwords: "pcie 2.0 compatible")
OR 10 seconds to search the forum.

*shrug*

btw,
IMO, Kasparz's reply was perfectly appropriate.

I thought you needed pci-e 1.1 to run pci-e 2.0 cards.. But p965 has pci-e 1.1, so there isn't any problems. :)

TBH, I thought it would, but its always better to make a post on TPU because that way others that may be wondering about the same thing can see the answer also!

It wasnt me being a n00b, I made an error whilst typing too fast (it happens to everyone) But you were just being a smartass and trying to look clever! Everyone else knew what I meant and so did you!
