    I have a question. Since the 8800 GT has a low profile, can you run 4 of them in SLi?

    Whats this PCi-e 2.0? what happened to PCi-e x16?

    Nope, since it only has one SLI connector.

    PCI-express 2.0 was to double the bus standard's bandwidth from 2.5 Gbit/s to 5 Gbit/s, meaning a x32 connector can transfer data at up to 16 GB/s in each direction. PCIe 2.0 is still compatible with PCIe 1.1, so older cards will still be able to work in machines with this new version. Read more about it on wikipedia.org
