    ... PC-I Express 2.0 slot?

    I want to purchase a new graphics card for my PC and it has an available 2.0 slot. Problem is, the graphics cards I am looking at all say 2.1 on the packaging. So, my question again is will the 2.1 card work in my 2.0 slot? I had the Best Buy sales computer/sales associate stumped on this one.
