The 3850/3870 are 55nm, the 3870 has a better cooler than the 8800GT.

Yep, PCI-E 2.0 is backwards compatible with 1.1. How old is your motherboard? Just to make sure it isn't PCI-E 1.0 or PCI-E 1.0a.

It's backwards compatible with 1.0 and 1.0(a) too, I believe. Just possibly not all. The wikipedia states otherwise, but the person who altered it could very well be wrong, as everywhere else states otherwise, including the special interest group behind PCI.. it's a Confusing mess.

Yes it would, but it would downclock to x16 speed, which there isn't any performance loss, cause the cards can't even take advantage of its full bandwidth.
