My Motherboard: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01357135&tmp_task=prodinfoCategory&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&os=2093&product=3659703&sw_lang=#N1455

New Graphics Card: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150322

My biggest fear, is the fact that the graphics card lists as "PCI Express x16 2.0" but my motherboard lists as "PCI Express x16."

Are they the same thing, does it matter (ie. backwards compatibility)?

i don't think it makes a difference.
