Do we really need more expansion slots? With motherboards having 4-6 USB ports integrated, sound integrated, ethernet ports integrated...do we really need more expansion slots. The only need for the slots would be a sound card and a firewire card, and SB Audigy has both of those on one card. The only other use I guess would be an ATA expansion board (not sure if SATA can be daisy-chained). But I guess this is Slashdot, and people will probably not want integrated components. I just don't use PCI cards much anymore.
Also, about the memory slots, on the Gateway 7200's, which is BTX...I am pretty sure the motherboard in those have 4 memory slots.

Big into panoramas? With a name like Roundshot, that is hard to believe.
