I'm planning on picking up a 5850 or 5870, haven't decided fully yet.

I noticed they are 16x 2.0 or 2.1 PCIe cards.

I haven't really looking into the whole 2.0 thing, but I went back on my newegg order history and checked out the specifications on my Asus P5B-Deluxe I bought back in Dec. 2006.

I noticed it just says 2x PCIe x16. Will my mobo fully support the new cards? Want to make sure before I pull the trigger.

Here's the mobo for reference:

Thanks.
