Asus P5B and PCI 2.0 Videocards

[Timuchin]

I got a Asus P5B ---- only P5B , no deleluxe ect---- and want to upgrade with a new Video card
(current is a 8600gt) but most of these cards are PCI 2.0 . Can i plug such a card into my Mobo
and will it work. I really could use a certain answer to this.

Thanks

Yes, no problem.
They are backwards compatible.

but are you 100% bout it, its a normal P5B ? dont want to break anythingwhen pluggin it in , or have wasted money in buying a 2.0 card .
