In November we will see a new standard evolve, PCI-Express 2.0 or DXX.
PCI Express 2.0 was announced on January 15 by the PCI-SIG, an industry group of currently more than 850 companies like AMD, Broadcom, HP, IBM, Intel, LSI Logic, Microsoft and Nvidia. It defines the standards for the next generation of motherboards and graphics cards, commonly dubbed as DirectX 10 capable. This new architecture effectively boosts their performance and utilization compared to their DirectX 9 / PCI Express 1.0 predecesser enormously and requires a new 8P power connector.
For those building new systems be sure that if your going to be spending your hard earned money be sure that you power supply supports PCI Express 2.0 or DXX. There are many companies that are just coming out with these new breed of PSU's. I just didn't want you guys & gal's to make the same mistake I did by not buying a PSU that was ready for PCI Express 2.0 or DXX. If you care to add a comment please do as being prepared is better than not being prepared at all. Here is a link for more info. http://www.pcisig.com/news_room/faqs/pcie2.0_faq/
