Is the Wii Remote compatible with BlueTooth 3.0?

Hi,

So I sold my Wii but I haven't sold any of my games and I still have two controllers. Since I have a pretty good PC (AMD Athlon II X4 OCed to 3.2GHz + 4GB of DDR3 + HD4650 OC), I think I can emulate Wii games properly and upscale accordingly.

I do not have Bluetooth on my PC and I would of course need that in order to use the Wii Remote. I was wondering whether Bluetooth 3.0 is backwards compatible with older devices that don't use 3.0 such as the Wii Remote. I don't know what rev. of Bluetooth Wii uses, but I reckon it is probably 1.1-2.0.

I was going to get a 3.0 dongle but then I thought to myself, "Is this even going to work?"

Thanks.
