PCI-e 1.0 and 2.0 are totally compatible, don't worry about it. And it's PCI-e, not PCI-x. I think PCI-x is a totally different thing.

PCI-X is an extended version of the original PCi bus...

pci express (commonly abbreviated to pci e) is completely different.

even though that board is pci e 1.1, it will not bottleneck a 9600GT. sure, it would probably bottleneck a 4870X2, but something as low end as a 9600GT will not be bottlenecked at all. only thing is it will get half the power from the slot. but as long as your psu has a 6 pin plug it should be alright.
