  • Which Mobo with PCI-X??

    I went to the Asus web site and couldn't find anything with PCI-X.

    Also is it worth the upgrade now? ATI is releasing there PCI-X card next few days


    Thanks,
    Elie

    Are you sure you're looking for PCI-X? That is NOT the same as PCI-Express.

        You won't find any motherboards with PCI-Express yet. It will probably be months before a good one comes out.

          ATI is supposedly announcing 2 PCIE cards next month. The X700 & X300. I'm sure they wouldn't announce them if motherboards weren't soon to follow, so Wombat is probably right, about 2 months or so.

              Yup, and I would not reccomend being the first to jump on the PCI-Express boat. The initial chipsets are bound to have the usual bugs and unknown issues.

                  The short form of PCI-Express is PCX. At least that's what I've seen the most of. PCX should be pretty stable once the gen 2 chipsets and boards hit.

                    Ok, who's in charge of these naming conventions? Too similar and obviously causes confusion.
