All PCI Express 2.0 motherboards are compatible with PCI Express 1.1 graphics cards and vice versa, but you’ll need PCI Express 2.0 compliant hardware to benefit from automatic speed and link width adjustments. Our testing concentrates on testing PCI Express 2.0 solutions at all possible link widths.

The x1 mark is wrong in the diagram- it's the gap right after the key, not ON the key!
My nVidia GeForce 8800 GTS 512 is marketed as being PCIe 2.0. Why is this not listed?
Typo on the last page referring to 9800GX2 as 9900.
My nVidia GeForce 8800GS 384MB is marketed as being PCIe 2.0. Why is this not listed?
This article is terribly misleading and does not test what it promises. It's only purpose is to test PCIe 2.0 x16 against PCIe 2.0 x8, x4 and x1.
Woulda been nice if they actually tested PCIe 2.0 (x16) against PCIe 1.1 since this would actually be of some relevance and importance to us. Anyone else think so?
