Are they compatible,I have a chance to buy one of these boards at a very low price,I was just wondering if it was compatible with pci-e 2.0 graphic cards,I know that the pci-e 2.0 is backwards compatible,but,will it work on this board,you may have seen my other posts about the VIA chipset I have now,which,is not compatible,bloody Foxconn

I've heard that pci-e 2.0 is not compatible with the older pci-e slots,like the one in my Mobo,I can't seem to find any info on what slot this board has

I am starting to pull my hair out,I always thought google was great,til,I had this wee problem

Seriously guys,any help here would be greatly appreciated

PS:this Mobo has an Intel 945G chipset
