SG33G5M and PCI 2.0

[subs]

Hi,

Im planning to get a SG33G5M as HTPC but are on a big hunt for the perfect graphics card (need to run VC-1). Have runned thru a couple of tests and found Msi GeForce NX8800GTS. It uses the PCIE 16x 2.0. Does this work with the SG33G5M mainboard??? Does any 2.0 card work with the shuttle?

thanks,

PCIe is backwards compatible so a PCIe 2.0 card will work in a PCIe 1.0 expansion slot although you obviously lose the additional bandwidth that PCIe 2.0 provides.

If you are looking for a good multimedia card rather than for gaming then the ATI 38xx series may be better suited for your needs.
