only PCI-Express generation 1 GPUs work.

In practice, I myself ran an MSI Twin Frozer GTS250 1GB on a board with the 1.0 PCI-e version. The board was Fujitsu Siemens D2317-A1, made in 2005-2006 or so.

It had the 1.0 PCI-e version only.

You might be right. I read somewhere that those first PCI-E 2.0 cards (like 8800 GT) have different/worse PCI-E 2.0 implementation and can't fully go back to PCI-E gen 1. Later GPUs may have different/better PCI-E 2.0 implementation and may go down to gen 1. So I read. Would have to test this.

Unfortunately it won't work on this motherboard.

I had it run on a G31 chipset Motherboard. PCI-e ver. 1.1

30*3.3+30*5+40*12=99+150+480=729 Watts, so a 750 W would be more suitable

By the laws of physics, the voltage always drops. So any *good* and *new* PSU is only 82%, at best. Some expensive declare 85% efficiency, so these calculations are for a mediocre 500-550W PSU.
