Expansion capabilities

  • One PCI Express* Revision 1.1
  • One PCI Express x 1 connector
  • Two PCI Conventional bus connectors

 

 

It probably won't be very ideal for gaming with a new, higher end card to be honest.

thats one retro board, but i think it does work

according to Ebay i read details about this motherboard. this mobo came with PCIE 2.0

Product Information Explore the great multitasking performance and legacy features of the Intel Desktop Board DG41WV. This board is designed to run with Intel Core 2 Quad and Intel Core 2 Duo processors in the LGA775 socket. Offered in micro-ATX form factor and populated with a PCI Express 2.0 x16 slot, 2 DIMMs slots for DDR3 memory, eight back panel USB 2.0 ports, you can build a feature-rich system with these expansion capabilities.

I think it'll work, but not very well. If that's the motherboard in the existing PC, it may not be worth upgrading it as almost everything will need changing.

i dont want to upgrading everything since i have my own system. i just want to make this PC for medium gaming system. does this motherboard support HD7730 GPU ?

It should do. All versions of PCI-E are supposed to be backwards compatible. As long as you don't put a high end card in there, you should be fine.
