Short answeres
1 No/yes
2 Yes Some
No the sysetm is not PCI 2.0 Compliant. But 2.0 Cards will run
Yes with Bios A06 a lot of the 45nm chips will work. More issues with the extremes than the non extremes.

Hi there,
1) The XPS 720 doesn't support PCI-E 2.0, but the HD 4870 will work fine if installed.
2) I'm pretty sure the XPS 720 supports up to a Q9450, but I'm not 100% sure. You'll have to double check that.
Good luck.
