The PCIe 2.0 slot could have too few lanes.

99% of motherboards i've seen so far has at least a PCI-E the length of X16, so it should at least fit......

Here http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6813141010 Newegg lists that mobo as having two PCIe 2.0 slots @ x16, two PCIe 1.0 slots @ x1, and three PCI slots. So, though your original phrasing was a bit confusing, it stands to reason that your PCIe 2.0(x16) card will fit just fine in your PCIe 2.0 slot because the only PCIe 2.0 slots you have are @ x16.

Thanx. General specs referred to PCIE 2.0 only. I should have dug a little deeper.
