Building a completely new PC (current one is being given up to replace the dying home PC). I found a combo on newegg that includes the 6950 HIS video card - but it's PCI 2.1. Will this video card be compatible with a PCI 2.0 slot?

Please leave any compatibility issues in the response section, & feel free to recommend a different mobo (open to suggestions especially if it's a better deal). Thanks for your help, -Jeff|||It works fine, all version of PCI-Express x16 are backward and forward compatible, they simply communicate at the highest level supported at both ends (card and slot).|||Well, it should work. All PCI-E slots on motherboards are backwards compatible/ 2.1 should be backwards compatible with 2.0.|||Yes.
