are there now 2 standards of PCIE? ie PCIE 1.0 and PCIE 2.0?

just gone to fit a 7600GS PCIE card into an AM3 motherboard with PCIE 2.0 and it won't fit? or am i just being a wimp?
 
Providing the card is PCIE x16 and the slot is too... your being a wimp!

Just make sure the little locking catch on the slot is open and then just PUSH. Make sure your motherboard doesnt snap though! :).
 
hmm...PCI-E 1.0, 1.0a, 1.1, 2.0, 2.1 aaaand upcoming 3.0. I think. :p


Anyway yea it'll work fine, it's all backwards compatible both ways (generally).
 
I always hated putting **** into the PCIE slots always felt as if i was gonna break something.. So yeah your probz being a wimp xD
 
ok coolio. i sisn't want to ram it in as everythings gone in so easy so far so if you lot say it fits. ;) if i break it its all your fault. :p
