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?"

  1. The ph34rb33r webcomic is lame and must be trolled by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll

    oOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO TROLLS UNITE oOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO

    We must rape the forums on the ph34rb33r website, in order to deride them, and insult their lame excuse for a 'webcomic'. There are minimal forum rules in place to stop trolls over there, such as a 20 second delay until another post can be done. Obviously, this allows you to refresh the page once the 20 seconds is up, and then resend the data, so that it will be reposted. The forum in question also has image posting capabilities, allowing you to use the explicit material contained upon rotten.com and goatse.cx. In addition to all this lack of troll-protection, the forum actually allows anonymous postings! Members of TrollKore have already trolled their forums multiple times, with crapfloods and the posting of sexual imagery. The posts were deleted after around an hour, but I believe that we have put a small dint in their weak ego. Ah, did I say 'their'? I meant 'his', since he is the only one that runs the webcomic, and has no friends.

    A sample of the offending content is here. Please note how the webcomic is fucking lame and unfunny, and its very existence needing to be eradicated from the Internet. Also note how the comic looks as if it was drawn by a small child (and probably was). THE INTERNET IS NO PLACE FOR A SMALL CHILD, LET ME TELL YOU, GOOD SIR! At present, this is more important than meer Slashdot, fellow trolls. You now troll for FREEDOM, FREEDOM FROM AN INTERNET WITHOUT LAMENESS FROM SUCH TWATS.

    I ask you this... if the forum could be down by tomorrow, isn't that worth trolling for? ISN'T THAT WORTH CRAPFLOODING FOR?!?

    I plead to you, fellow troll, this fucking LOSER has to be revealed for the motherfucker he really is.

    Thank you.
    TrollKore out.

  2. Cynicism overkill by acordes · · 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?!"

  3. A mug of Frosty Piss for the FAILURE! by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll

    You were so badly humiliated in your logged-in-user attempt at getting the frist prost that everyone should raise a mug of frosty piss to your monumental FAILURE! Here's your frist prost haiku:

    Frosty piss failure
    You make me want to vomit
    must purge the FAILURE!
