Wait for PCIe 2.0 or not for build?

[docingram]

I'm building a computer and wanted to get an opinion. With PCIe 2.0 coming out, would I be better off waiting until then or just do the build now? Also, does anyone know when PCIe 2.0 boards are coming out? Thanks

This fall I think, but who can tell with delays. Anyway, it's double the bandwidth. I'm not convinced that the current standard is being saturated yet. If you don't mind waiting, then it's worth having for next gen video cards.

Do the build now, by the time cards are out that use PCI-E2.0, there will be something better coming out. Look at is this way...how many cards out there actually USE AGP 8x? (Answer: 0)

Technology will always change. Some changes are worth waiting for. This one isn't. We're not close to surpassing the bandwidth of the current PCIe. Penryn and DDR3 are both much more likely to have an impact by year end, but I wouldn't wait for those either.
