I am looking to upgrade my graphics card and I wanted to find out what version of PCIe does the PCIe x16 have. I know that PCIe 2.0 is backward compatible with PCIe1.1 slots and cards. Also, I know a PCIe2.0 card will work in a PCIe1.1 slot. But, I still wanted to know what version of PCIe I was dealing with.
I was wondering what version of PCIe x16 (1.0, 1.1, 2.0) do I have with this motherboard.....

Asus IPIBL-LB mATX
P5K-VM
Chipset Intel G33
BIOS American Megatrends Inc. 5.23, 4/21/08
Current Graphics Card NVIDIA GeForce 9500 GS

Also would this support a Graphics Card with DDR3 or GDDR3?

Thanks to everyone in advance who responds to this.

the g33 chip-set is pci 2.0 so ya have nothing to worry about.......also the version of the pci slot would not matter if the video card has gddr3 or not..........
