Is the PCIe port version 1 (2.5GT/s) or version 2 (5.0GT/s)?

If you mean the SATA version support, it looks like it is Sata 3. The drives I have connected to this unit are showing 5.8Gb/s speeds.

Nope. I suggest grabbing a gigabyte ga 78lmt-usb3 if you're not planning on running 2 cards. Best bang for your buck

yes all PCIe technology is forward and backward compatible to the least common denominator if you put a 3.0 card in a 2.0 slot ir will run as 2.0if you put a 2.0 card in a 2.0 slot ir will run as 2.0if you put a 3.0 card in a 3.0 slot ir will run as 2.0if you put a 3.0 card in a 3.0 slot ir will run as 3.0same true with 2.1, 1.0, and 1.1 cards

No, is the short answer. The maximum speed of usb 2 is 480mbps and is insufficient for pcie. Also do not buy the pe4h for any new graphics card, it is unstable for newer cards and doesn't perform well. Get a pe4l v 2.1b if you can attach the card through a more powerful connection.

Yes it is. I've used it with both 2.0 and 3.0 ports. 3.0 is definitely faster though.

hello this is what I understandIf the module M.2 PCI Express is installed, the PCIE slot is disableddo not know if it's true I have not proven

I don't know, I guess so, but slower. My motherboard has PCIe 3.0, so I had no problem with that.

Yes. In a PCIe 1.0 slot the performance will actually be slower than a SATA II (3gb) port on the motherboard. If it's for an SSD, if you can't use a 2.0 slot larger than x1, it's not worth purchasing. If you do purchase it and use it in a larger slot, install the drivers that come with it, then update them--that results in a significant improvement. I'm using Asmedia 1061 version 1.4.1.0 from 12/26/2012 --supports TRIM and works great.

it depends on it pci expess 2.0... it has to the do with the right voltage if it is compatible...if its 3.0 it dose not work ...3.0 is another voltage....

It will work just fine, I bought this card like a month ago and my mother board is PCIE 2.0, the performance is excellent! No complaints so far. The card its great you should get it.

Hello, x16 means the pin configuration (pci x8 means 8 pins, x16 means 16 pins). The difference between PCI-E 2.0 vs. PCI-E 3.0 is the difference in throughput: Per lane, in each direction:v1.x: 250 MB/s (2.5 GT/s)v2.x: 500 MB/s (5 GT/s)v3.0: 985 MB/s (8 GT/s)v4.0: 1969 MB/s (16 GT/s)For a 16-lane slot, in each direction:v1.x: 4 GB/s (40 GT/s)v2.x: 8 GB/s (80 GT/s)v3.0: 15.75 GB/s (128 GT/s)v4.0: 31.51 GB/s (256 GT/s)

Yes it will. There is a slight performance drop associated with not using PCIE 3.0 but its negligible. I use it in 2.0 myself, works great

It has USB 2. USB 3.0 came later. If you get a good one of these it is pretty stable for such old machines. My experience is with a 2.16GHZ. Not the Nvidia versions will have a shorter life due to the weak under fill solder on the graphics chip. The intel on board version would therefore be a safer bet. However is you get an Nvidia - I keep mine a an inexpensive USB powered laptop cooling fan and it is keeping the temp below standard operating figures. These machines also run Linux Mint 17 very well.

I believe I can only answer one question here. All PCI-E editions are backwards compatible with their previous version. 3.0 > 2.0 > 1.0. I don't know the other answer though, sorry.

Yes it is backwards compatible with PCI express 2.0. I use it with sandy bridge i7 no problem. Card is awesome.

The card performs at PCIe 2.0 speeds only, but it will work in slots that support PCIe 2.0 and 3.0 (x8 or x16)
