Are PCIe 2.0 & SATA-II backward compatable?
I am planning to buy the graphics card ATI HD3850 and a 250 GB HDD. Since the card and the HDD have PCIe 2.0 and SATA-II connectors, so I wanted to know whether the are backward compatable with the older PCIe 1.0 and SATA technology; since my motherboard MSI RS482M2-IL supports only these standards.
