Will the new 9800 cards that support PCI-E 2.0 run on PCI-E 1.0 slots on my old mobo as well?

Thanks!

Both motherboard and graphics card are backwards compatible. ;)

has anyone done a comparison to see if there is any performance difference?

There isn't, no single card saturates the PCI-e 2.0 bus cept maybe the 9800GX2

Nope, doesn't even fill a PCIe 1.1 x16 slot.
