my motherboard (MSI-7360) says it supports PCI-EXPRESS but does it also support PCIe2.0 cards?

Is it possible to put a PCIe 2.0 graphics card on a motherboard with PCI-Express?

The question is not really about the board, but rather the card. Virtually all PCIe 2.0 cards are backward compatible with PCIe 1.1. (they are supposed to be at least).
