Anyone think the new Dell8400 and XPS3 systems with PCI express ATI-X300 and
up cards will be worthwhile to wait for?

Thanks
Bill

No.

The wait for software that uses them will be more fun.

I would say no. I have to agree with Sham's post. Personally, I don't
see myself going near PCI Express until the second half of next year at
the earliest. 2006 is a big possibility too. By then, the hardware will
have matured and there will probably be games out which better utilize the
technology. My advice is let someone else be the early adopter.
