I went to the Asus website and it looks like that mbd is a PCIe 1.1 board.

PCI E 2.0 is compatiable with all the other PCI E formats

The new Intel X38 chipset supports 2.0, but a 2.0 card will work fine in a 1.x board, it's like putting an AGP8X card in a AGP4X board. It's going to be a while before there will be a measurable difference in performance, nothing uses the full bandwidth of 1.x yet.
