I want to upgrade my Alienware Area-51 graphics

Hey all,

I have an Area-51 2009 time-frame, with a Radeon 5970 that is beginning to show its age.

I would like to put in a new board. Budget is not an issue so much as compatibility. Will a PCI-E3 board go into my PCIE-2 slot? Will it hamper the card or make it unuseable?

I have an Intel i7 295 extreme processor.

What do I need to be thinking about? Can I just drop in a high end card?

Thanks,

Patrick
