Okay I went and bought a used EVGA GTX 260 to replace the aging 8600GTS in my system but I think I've run into a major problem.

The manual that came with the vid card says that the PCIE-16 slot must deliver either 3.3V or 0.8V.

I read my MB manual (My MB is an MSI P35 Neo) and as best as I can figure out from the crappy manual, it has a v.1.0 PCIE-16 slot but delivers 5V. Is that right? Or even possible?

Thanks for any help you can provide.
