I hv the 1st one you mentioned (dg31pr). Wats the difference between pci-e 2.0 ane pci-e x16?

 

[SuxoR]

PCI-e 2.0 allows for more data to be transfer and at higher speeds
Kinda like usb 1 and 2

PCI-e 2.0 cards like the 4850 WILL work with a PCI-e x16 slot and you should not be able to tell the difference in performance

Happy Buying :]
