64 Bit & PCI Express

Ok... so they're coming out with the pci Express slots for the new vids. Do you think it's going to make things so radically different that it's worth the wait? Much better gaming etc?

I'm getting ready to go for it & build a new machine with 64 bit, asus delux board.... good fast Ram, etc. Don't want to invest in this if things are going to get much, much better video wise. Seems I read an article about this upcoming video change and they predicted great things but if it's going to take a year or two, who cares... I'll be building a new machine again by then.

Your thoughts? Thanks all. You all are a great help .

Yeah another vote says it probably won't be much faster/if any right away. But at least you will be able to use a PCIe card if/when it is faster.

If you don't want to wait that long, at least wait 2 weeks or so until the NForce 3 250 socket 754 boards come out. These are looking to be better than any current option and are so close to hitting the streets it seems. You won't have PCIe, but a better chipset/mobo.

All your cards will become outdated, like old ISA cards did. But that will take quite some time. If it's easy for you to wait, wait. If it's difficult to wait, build.
