OpenGL 2.0 vs. 1.5

[Soulkeeper]

I just purchased an xfx 6800 xt card from newegg.com
on there site they said it was opengl 2.0 but i just recieved it and the box states 1.5
I don't use the windows operating system and prefer opengl, are there any big differences between 1.5 and 2.0 that might make me miss out on cool special effects and/or performance ?

any thoughts at all....
thanks

I just talked to someone that said my 6800 xt hardware supports opengl 2.0 just at the time of release the drivers hadn't yet, so the box was printed with 1.5 support listed.
is this true ?

I'm not sure what the difference is, but I'm pretty sure there are no opengl 2.0 games out yet.

I heard about that. I think that's the case.
