PCI Express - Coming Soon to a PC Near You

Max Romantschuk writes "I've been following the emerging of PCI Express for some time now. PCI Express, previously known as "Third Generation I/O" or "3GIO", is the technology set to replace PCI. PCI has been with us for around ten years now, and is rapidly running out of bandwidth. Last week Anandtech ran an interresting story on PCI Express. The techology has previously been covered by Hexus and ExtremeTech aswell. I feel this technology looks all set to replace PCI, and we really do need some new bus technology to keep up with the bandwidth demands of today's applications. Or is this just yet another way to force us into a new upgrade cycle?"

    It's not zionists who strap bombs to kids and send them onto buses packed with other kids.

    No, the Zionists are the ones that strap missiles to helicopters and fire them at cars driving down the street. I don't see much of a difference.
