My motherboard has a PCI Express slot on it, but does not specify anything about PCIE2.0 card.
Im running a Gigabyte GA-MA69VM mobo.
Thanks...
I know this is a simple question but i searched for a min and couldn't seem to dig anything up so I figured why not save some time and ask a question.

[Windows] XP SP3
Ok, so it's been released. Any ideas on this upgrade? Is it worthy, or will it just bloat and kill pc's?

Well, im sorry you would think something like that. I was just out meeting new people.
If this came across as being "GAY" which by definition is having fun, thats what I am trying to do.
You dont have to add me, it's purly optional.

IS there a document or a website that has information about capture cards so that I can learn how to choose the right ones and what all the specs mean?
