Is there a roadmap as to when this type of a board will arrive among the various board manufacturers?

What good would they do?

it's not like Those PCI slots realy "slow down" the system or anything... and what would you plug in those extra PCIe Slots at this time that you cannnot plug in a PCI slot?

If anything, PCI wil stay for quite a while to insure backwards compatibility. Considering that there were still ISA slots on many P3 (2000) MBs and that PCI started appearing on MBs with the Pentium 1 (1995) I would suggest that PCI will diseapear from MBs in 2009.
