Just read on here that my Graphics card is crap

. guess its time to head back to best buy..
And can someone explain to me what all i am losing since most cards take a PCI 2.0 or higher and my motherboard only has a 1.0..

Who told you your card sucked?
Don't buy from best buy before you check for better deals online.
The difference in PCI slots is just the amount of bandwidth available. You should be fine with a GTX460 and 1 PCIe 1.0 x 16 slot.
PCIe 2.0 cards are backwards compatible with PCIe 1.0

Read it some were on here that galaxy sucks..
Also the ONLY reason i did best buy was cause i wanted a card that day and i bought a cheaper one and then traded it in the next week so basically got a loaner for free lol. (no questions asked 30 day exchange and return)
