Basically - as long as its a V2 capable card, and most are - your fine. Even if your running v1 - its backwards compatible.
V2.1 breaks that - but not many cards/boards are 2.1 for that very reason. 3.0 was released, but it is not readily available either.
Just stick with a x16 card - v2 preferably and you will be fine.

2.1 isn't compatible with 1.0? I was told in another thread that I'd be fine with a 2.1 card in a 1.0 slot.
