 MSI p6n sli   mobo ,  pci-e " 1.0 "  ,   can i use the newer video cards that are pci-e 2.0 ?  are they backwards compatible ?     having trouble finding the best card to put in my old system  so i can gift it to my nephew .  it currently  has an nvidia 8800 gts , no longer available except on ebay , used .  the 8800 barely keeps up with  the new game max settings ,  even warcraft .
