Hi guys I have an Asus P5G41T MLX3 mobo which has an 1.1pci-e x16 slot. I want to buy a new amd hd 6670 which requires a 2.1 Pci-e x16 slot. I have updated the bios from the above link. Will this card work properly on my motherboard???? Someone please help me because i dont want to spend money on stuff which wont work on my mobo

pc configuration:
Above mentioned mobo

Solution
^ yep all are compatible with each other, forwards and back
1.1 and 2.0 and 3.0

Youa lso won't suffer a performance penalty with such low end cards like the 6670

ARE U 100% shure of it that it will work, i bought my mobo 1 year back. Does this have anything to do with bios update??? Also heard that the 2.1 cards especially have problems with 1.x slots. also will my cpu be able to handle the graphics card
