    PCI-E v1.1 and v2.0 are interchangeable, which means that they can be used in any combinations, eg v1 mobo + v2 GPU, v2 mobo + v1 GPU, etc... Nowadays graphics cards don't even max out the v1 bus width, and I think it was tested somewhere that there was a 2fps drop when you used the slower bus.

    Dunno, maybe a 4850, or a 4870. Or a GTX260 or a 9800GTX(+).
