My son uses a Dell Inspiron 531. He wants a new graphics card to be able to play games at a higher framerate.

According to Dell, the system uses a PCI Express 1.0a.

If I purchase a PCI-E 2.0 will it work with the system? Or do I need to strictly use a 1.0? In otherwords, is the difference between 1.0A throughpu ant 2.0 on the videocard end? Or the Motherboard end?

Thanks for any help.
