Funny. We have not yet maxed the AGP bus yet.... PCI was to replace that, then PCI-X came up about.... what kind of information would you need to have a PCI-X bus anyhow? What is the available bandwith for the PCI-X2 do you know Sab? I'm interested!

PCIe2 provides faster signaling, which doubles the bit rate from 2.5GT/s to 5GT/s.

Impressive. Which games are using that much as of now? I suppose we won't be seeing 20GB terrains yet (I'm still gawking over those id vids)

Well, needless to say, I'm sure if you add 16XAA + 16XAF + 2560x1600 type textures and a whole lot of gaming engine you would probably use that much in about 3 years. LOL. Jk. Thanks Sab.
