you'll have to shave some of the top from the two posts next to the AV slot.
Then you'll either have to bend back the metal from the extra post that the 1.6 mobo doesn't use or cut it off (it's your choice).
If you leave this metal tab on and turn on the 1.6 mobo, you'll fry a transistor so make sure you break that connection
otherwise, you'll have to desolder and replace a tiny part on the mobo.
not that difficult but is easily avoidable
