every pci e 2.0 would support pci e 1.0
Ooops. I just found out that this is not the case!! :shocked:

Only PCI-E 1.1 spec is backward compatible with PCI-E 2.0. PCI-E 1.0 and 1.0a are not backward compatible with PCI-E 2.0.

Certain Asus motherboards employing SLI seems to have an issue here, if you use both cards. One slots is PCI-E 1.1 and the other is 1.0 :S (WTF were Asus thinking??)

I don't know if other manufacturers did this stupid thing :S

I'm planning to get the Geforce 8800 GTS 320MB and the Intel E6600. The Geforce 8800 at ASUS center is around Rs.45000 and the Intel Core 2 E6600 at PC house is around Rs. 40000 :shocked:

Do you guys know any other good places where I can get these two for cheap ?
It should have at least one year warranty.

Also, what is the best motherboard I could get for around 20-25K here in Sri Lanka ?

Please help me.

Machan apith ooka ganna baluwa, as far sas i know ASUS center is the only place in srilanka. umba singapore gihilla gattath labai mama hitanne. Samahara wita PC house eke athi, habai un geth price is unfair.
