Yes, I googled the question and searched this forum but found no answer.
I have a ~4 year old asus commando motherboard with a x16 pcie gen1 connector. Are the newest cards (6990, etc) compatible with this? I've read that the connector speed doesn't really matter for mining, so I assume I'll be fine (if the card itself is backwards compatible, which I hope it is). But I don't know much about hardware.
