i want to upgrade my old video card and buy something better, I'm thinking of buying a XFX GeForce 9600 GSO Video Card and it tells me that i need a pci-express 2.0 x16 slot, i checked my computers specs and it tells me i have a pci-express x16 slot. i want to know if i can still install it. im not sure if it really is a 2.0 or not (i looked up a few pictures and i'm pretty sure my slot is not 1.0) i have a HP Pavilion a6530f Desktop PC|||According to many benchmarks 2.0 really doesn't present that big of effect on anything. That card will be a good affordable upgrade for you, if that is what you choose... |||Get this card for your standard pci-express X 16 slot.

Good luck
|||If the card is PCI-E 2, and your motherboard is PCI-E, you can still install it. It just won't run at 2.0 speeds.
