Noob question

[Shambler]

This mobo: GIGABYTE GA-EP35-DS3L
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128337

And this card: Sapphire 4850
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102747


Will they jive? Noticed the card is PCI Express 2.0 16x, mobo seemingly only PCI Express 1.0 16x

Backward compatible, no problem. I have similar MB and PCIe 2.0 video card - all Ok.

Fing WOOT!

They will work fine together. You could opt for the newer P43 or P45 Chipset to get PCI-E 2.0, but you probably won't see much difference in real world computing or gaming.
