9800GTX related question for experts

[Blackfire]

I need help on a very important question. I want to ask that, as far I know 9800GTX is a PCI-E 2.0 card, & Abit IP35-E supports only PCI-E 1.1 (pls correct me if I am wrong) , So can I use 9800GTX in Abit IP35-E. If yes than will I experience any performance drop if yes than how much performance drop can I expect by this & will I face any other problem with 9800GTX when I use it with Abit IP35-E?

expect less than 2% fall ho performance for resolutions 1600*1200 and below.beyond it u will have some more drop max 5% and that too not in crysis.it will be in bioshock and world in conflict,company of heroes.this is my self experiment with 680i sli and 780 i sli on a bravia and samsung lcd..and u won't even notice anything below 1600*1200
