Concerning the PNY GeForce 9600 GT PCI-E 2.0

[thesinter]

There is a very good deal on this card at many retailers for only $150, and I was really hoping to get it. While I was going down the specs I noticed that it said,"

PCI Express 2.0 Support: Designed to run perfectly with the new PCI Express 2.0 bus architecture, offering a future-proofing bridge to tomorrow's most bandwidth-hungry games and 3D applications by maximizing the 5 GT/s PCI Express 2.0 bandwidth (twice that of first generation PCI Express). PCI Express 2.0 products are fully backwards compatible with existing PCI Express motherboards for the broadest support.

I know that I do not have the PCI Express 2.0 Slot, but i also notice that i said that it is fully backwards compatible with existing PCI Express motherboards.
I just want to make sure that i will be able to use this card from you guys because I'm a bit confused.

yes thats correct

You will be fine. On a 9600GT you won't gain anything from PCIE 2.0 anyway.

Thank you very much, now all i have to do is decide what company to go with.... EVGA, PNY, etc...

 

[_-..zKiLLA..-_]

EVGA! PNY's quality isn't as up to par as EVGA

 

[thesinter]

Yeah, looks like EVGA has a nice limited life time warranty, and their 90 day deal to upgrade to a better card.

eVGA - good card

 

[thesinter]

I have just ordered my EVGA 9600GT... Thanks for all the help!

nice, when you get it, download 3dmark and post up some scores! i'd like to hear how much it helped your system also.

Get an ASUS with the glaciator HSF. EVGA just do reference designs.
