PCI Express cards available when?
I am thinking about upgrading my PC and I read that soon new motherboards
will have the new PCI Express video card slot and some MB wont have AGP anymore. I have not seen anything about when or what video cards for the PCI Express will be available. Any news on when the PCI Express cards will be out and how they compare to current models? Thanks, Lou

I wouldn't hold my breathe - but sometime this year BTX/PCI will be shipping. -- Remember when real men used Real computers!? When 512K of video RAM was a lot! Death to Palladium & WPA!!

I would say PCI Express would start coming out by this Christmas.
And you want to give time for any possible bugs to be worked out. So unless you want to hold off on upgrading for more then 6-10 months. Just go a head and upgrade now. "Lou" wrote in message ...

OK thanks,
I read a preview of new motherboards with PCI Express and I thought it said they would be out in March http://www.anandtech.com/chipsets/showdoc.html?i=1954 , but I guess if it will be really like 6-10 months then I will stick with AGP.

It may even come out before Doom3.... but I bet you $100 it comes out well before Duke Nuke'm Forever. -- Remember when real men used Real computers!? When 512K of video RAM was a lot!
