PCI Express vs PCI E 2.0

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?
