Motherboard expandability

[marinosa]

When I bought my Foxconn 865 motherboard it had 1 AGP and 5 PCI slots. Why cant we find so much expandability on todays motherboards. They usually only have two PCI for expandability. Has anyone seen a motherboard with more decent expandability?

We are seeing less and less PCI slots, because it's being replaced by PCI-E x1.

But can you get the same speed out of a PCIE x1 that you can get out of a PCI? And have you seen any PCIE X1 card in the market?

The only PCIx cards I have seen (besides video) are network cards. That sucks because most boards have 1 or 2 of them onboard already. It would be nice if sound cards or sata controllers started comming in that interface.
