Will it work just as fine on a PCI-Express 1.0 (x16) slot???

it 'will ' work in terms of go in and run the card, but it will slow down clock speeds greatly.

Yea it will work fine. PCI-E 2.0 has a higher bandwidth but its not like the limit of PCI-E X16 has being reached so as far a i know there isn't any decrease in performance.

Yeah I was running my 8800gt on pci express 1.0 and switched to 2.0 and it`s nothing big, to me anyways.

Ok thanks, now I'm going to go with the 9600 GT for $99 instead of the 8800 GT for $130, trying to save some money. :P

I've heard the complete opposite from many people Black Raven... you're correct in everything else, but I've heard it decreases the clock speeds of the card greatly because of it... still I have no idea which one is true, or maybe it happens with some people and doesn't others..not really sure.

interesting.... i'd still go with a PCIe 2.0 if you have a 2.0 PCIe card... just incase for compatability issues myself.... shouldn't mix/match parts as serious as mobo slots and gfx cards but they are backwards compatability.... will work in both slots
