GA-M59SLI-S5 compatible with 9600gt?

[87thrteam]

Hello guys, I currently have a MSI K9A2 CF v1 with aftermarket mosfet cooling running a 5000+ be and have a 9600gt. I am looking to go sli seeing as in the future I can pop in a second 9600gt and improve my gaming experience. I don't plan on getting a phenom anytime soon(my system is 4 months old and still has plenty of life in it)

My question is will a Gigabyte GA-M59SLI-S5 support a 9600gt? I don't know how pci 2.0 works and what the diff with 1.0 or 1.1 is. I did read that 2.0 is backward compatible with 1.1 but has probs with 1.0...Anyways Ill appreciate any help u guys can give me.

Thanks

i cant believe no one has responded to your thread.. i guess some people arent helpful at all .. anyway sorry about the delay with the current members responding to your thread

the answer is : yes it can. 2.0 is backwards compatible with 1.0/1.1 so youre okay . and the difference is not noticable at all
