Newbie question here.... Just making sure before i purchase a card.

A mobo that has a PCI express 2.0 slot supports BOTH pci-e x16 AND pci-e 2.0 x16 correct?

A mobo that has a PCI express x16 can only support x16 normal cards and NOT 2.0 ones correct?

A pci-e 2.0 video card will work on a pci-s slot, and your second question is correct.

just wondering....what card are you getting?
