Is ASUS A8N32-SLI Deluxe compatible with PCIE 2.0 video cards?

Haven't been able to find the standard printed anywhere for this MB or any inf as to compatibility with 2.0 or not.

Thanks

I believe that all PCI-e 1.1 mother boards are compatable with PCI-e 2.0 video cards. I know that at least my Abit IP35-E mobo is.

pci-e2.0 is completely backwards compatible

you wont find anything in the mobo manual about it because pci-e 2.0 didnt exist until late last year
that motherboard has been out for a few years

A8N32 is definitely not PCIe 2.0.

I don't know which card(s) you're using but if you happen to use a dual GPU card (not two singles in SLI) you might consider this when installing:

A8N32 Manual said:
• Due to NVIDIA nForce4 SLI x16 chipset limitation, if you install a
Dual-GPU graphics card on the blue x16 slot, it runs at x8 speed for
one of the two GPUs.
• Due to NVIDIA nForce4 SLI x16 chipset limitations, this motherboard
does not support two dual-GPU graphics cards (total 4 GPUs)
running in SLI mode.

Thx Ice just plan'n on G92 8800GTS or 9xxx series.

No duals cards and buck'n up for sli isn't in the budget ATM so no worries.

Thx again
