PCI / AGP lock or not?

[stevo1265]

This is my very first post, so I hope I'm in the correct place.
I recently purchased a desktop system from Alienware with an ASUS A8V Deluxe mobo. I happened to see the article about the PCI /AGP lock problem. My question is: How do I know if the mobo that's in my system is the 1st or 2nd generation. Thanx for any help.

The version number should be silkscreened onto the motherboard after the model number between two of the slots

If you have a wifislot, it's not rev 2.0, because as of now, there are no rev. 2.0 with the wifi slot.
