I just bought an LSI SAS 9211-8i HBA(Host bus adapter) to use with my new hardware. I realized after looking at the card that it required an x8 slot and my new mobo only x16 available. I keep on reading that PCI-E specs are backwards compatable however...

This goes against the intentions....
Yes, in the general case you can install PCI-E cards in any PCI-E slot that will physically have PCI-E x16 slot which will only work with graphics cards.

If I buy a PCI-E v2.0 graphics card (Nvidia Geforce GTX 275) will it work correctly and to the full potential with my PCI-E v1.0 motherboard (Asus P5B-Deluxe) ?

PCIe is backwards-compatible, so you can use 1.0 cards around through older tech articles... .
However, i'm not positive you'll be reaching the maximum capacity of the card as the PCI-E v1.0 slot has a slower bus speed.
It will work.

Hello
Is it possible to convert a PCI-e x1 slot into an old PCI slot? If so, how?
Thanks,

There are little cards that you can slip into the PCI-e x1 slot to convert intended for....
Pci-e slots(not even the full size 16x versions, let alone a 1x) are not backwards, there actually are.
They could do it.

Here's my question in pictures:
Will something like this:
fit into this? (the x16 slot)
In an argument with my friend about it - want to make sure I'm not crazy. (I'm saying no)

That the primary x16 slot is the only PCI-e slot of any kind, and all of the other slots on that board are legacy PCI slots.

Hey,
Doing some reasearch on a new build, and was looking at some parts requiring a PCI-E x4 such as an OCZ RevoDrive SSD, and I have a pretty noobish question - can you use x4 cards in a x16 slot?

On some boards (mainly the early Intel PCIe chipsets) the main PCIe 16x slot could only be used.

Main Question : Would I see any benefit (I/O bandwidth-wise) to purchasing a separate (non-raid) PCI-e controller card to plug SATAII drives into vs on-board SATAII slots?
I'd be plugging at least four drives into whichever solution I go with.

Maybe its true on other boards/chipsets, just not mine.
Its what I thought but that other thread threw me for a loop when it said SLI cuts speed by 50% .
Now I understand what the spec says.

This is my first build..
I have an RME hdspe AIO that I want to connect, and a Sapphire Radeon HD5450. My mobo (asus P8Z68-V Pro/GEN3) has the following pci/pci-e slots:
