Hello, I have an actual p5n-mx asus motherboard with a ati sapphire x1550. I have a dual core 2.2 processor and 4 gb RAM. I can't play some good graphics 2009 or later games. Probably is my video card that is old. Now i know for surely i got a pci and pci xpress x1 and pci xpress x16 in my motherboard. I don't know though if it can support a pcie 2.0 or 2.1. I am having a look on ebay but most good and not expensive video cards work with pcie 2.0. Can anyone tell me if it will fit my motherboard?

Yes will support 2.0 and 2.1. Because 2.0 and 2.1 are backward compatible.
