Hey everyone,

I have a quick question... I'm about to buy a PCI-E 2.0 Geforce 9800, but my MB has a 1.0 or 1.1 slot or something (x16).

Now, as I understand it 2.0 ist backwards compatible... but my new card would still be bottlenecked to some extent, right? Is it worth buying the new card and sticking it in a PCI-E 1.0 slot?
