"That PCIe is what I believe Blackhearted was discussing earlier, about the next generation of cards. It's not even so much as a core CPU change, it's a total bus change." PCIe is pretty old news now, i was referring to ATI and nVidia unveiling their new lines of video cards. it was supposed to happen in June, ive just been too busy lately to keep up-to-date on hardware news. did a quick search... THIS is what i was referring to. give ATI a chance to follow suit with its own new offering, give them both a couple of months to hit store shelves, and prices should drop significantly on the geforce 6x00 series of cards. cheers, -gabriel
