Im thinking of buying a new mobo, but here in chile things are a little expensive, so thats why I need to know if I will gain some fps by changing from an pcie x16 to a 2.0 using an 8800gt

thanks a lot

I know there are similar posts, but nobody gives a reasonable answer

You will gain exactly 0 FPS. Additionally, you will lose exactly 0 FPS. Don't worry about it.

It doesn't matter at this point. If you want to keep your mobo for a loooooong time, you might want to invest in it, but in most situations it's a waste of money.

Usually you get to pick other features first before PCIe 2.0 emerges as an issue, though. :D
