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?"

Cynicism overkill by acordes · 2003-06-19 00:34 · Score: 2, Troll

Why does every /. story need to have some little cynical tagline at the end of the intro. Why can't people just post the story, let other's read it, and formulate their own opinions? Arrgh, it's been starting to drive me nuts. /. is starting to sound more and more like a bad TV news program every day. "Everything is quiet and safe in our little suburb. OR IS IT?!"
