So would this be a good card, then?

There is one thing with that card's description that concerns me... I'm
not familiar with PCI Express 2.0... is that compatible with the
original version of PCI Express? My MB is a couple years old.

I'm hoping to solve a couple problems with this card... when I'm
watching HD content sometimes I get a video stutter. Also, CBS content
doesn't seem to wanna play in myth's builtin player using XvMC (which I
need 'cause my processor can't keep up with full HD decoding).
