AMD and PCI-E

[1chimera1]

this might sound stupid, but do any AMD mobos support PCI-E? I havent seen any.

There ought to be some new ones coming out dead soon. VIA, NVIDIA and ATI are all releasing chipsets about now (ish), so expect some boards soon!

 

[Lil' Timmy]

wait for nforce4, they'll have sli on those boards too (the higher quality ones anyway).

PCI-E = no PCI-X then yes, PCI-E is suppose to be the faster one but we'll find out

No, you have that backwards.

PCI-E = PCI Express, which is out there. There isn't PCI-X around.

the nForce4 chipset was recently introduced, and we'll see PCI-E mobos there.

nForce 4 should be out in early 2005, so I would wait for that.

ahh..but what if you are like me and you NEED a new computer asap so that you can play half-life 2..then what do you do?

buy one now.. lol i have learned you CANT keep up with technology..someone is always ahead in the game. Just buy a good comp now then maybe upgrade end of the summer next year.

PCI-E or PCI-Express on Athlon 64 boards is closer than around the corner. They have been shown and they will be out with in a matter of weeks.

PCI-X is a 64Bit version of PCI (32Bit). It's been around for a number of years. Generally only seen in servers and workstations.
PCI-Express is a totally new design that scraps AGP and PCI.

acually the nforce4 based motherboards are supposed to be on sale at the very end of october/begining of november :-D
I've got a couple hundred dollars put away for a new nforce4 mobo.

 

[KidRock]

getting an FX-55 and X800xt withOUT nforce4 or PCI-E then probley end of next fall I will upgrade to SLI.
