I'm thinking of getting a new graphics card that is made for PCI express 2.0.
I have the 1st revision of GA-P35-DS3 motherboard. Does anyone know what version the PCI express is on this motherboard? I'm assuming it's 1.0.
In which case, will my new graphics card work properly? Am I seriously losing out if I don't have a motherboard that supports PCI-E 2.0?

Thanks in advance

2.0 is backwards compatible. The difference is minimal.
