You mean that they aren't going to be offering a PCI Express version? -- --John to email, dial "usenet" and validate (was jclarke at eye bee em dot net)

The statement about "sufficient bandwidth" is BS..

First, if you mean PCI Express then this is abbreviated "PCIe", not "PCI-X". PCI-X is a enhancement of the old PCI standard and has nothing to do with PCI Express... Besides that, even AGP8x is more than fast enough to feed a 7800 GPU... Benjamin

The statement about "sufficient bandwidth" is BS.. Well, of course PCI-e can transfer data both ways simultaneously at high speed, but then again... do video cards even benefit of it? I believe textures are usually going just one way, from system RAM to video RAM?
