Simple Question Regarding PCI E 2.0

[Glassjaw1]

I did some browsing on the internet (and searched these forums), but I can't quite seem to find my answer, or am not understanding the answers I'm finding.

Quesiton is:

Will a PCI E x16 1.0 card work in a PCI E x16 2.0 slot?

Ex:

Will a 8600GT PCI E x16 work in a PCI E x16 2.0 slot?

Yes, and a PCI E x16 2.0 card will work in a 1.0 slot aswell

I was searching through pages and pages of google search results to find that my motherboard is compatible with pci-e 2.0. Im almost positive it will be compatible for you as well.

Yeah, it will. The only thing that will happen is that it won't be running at 2.0 speed. It will still be running at x16 speed, though.
