Are PCI slots a thing of the past?
for the past year i haven't used a PCI slot in my main system (running an Abit IT7-Max2 in my cm201b case).
All i have is my graphics card and everything else i need is either onboard or USB (creative extigy soundcard but the motherboard does have onboard sound....)
So back to my question... Is the PCI slot history? Do you use many PCI slots in your computer? What hardware is plugged into these used slots?

(btw. i know PCI express is just around the corner, so this will replace the old ageing PCI slot)

Firewire, LAN, USB, RAID etc will all go integrated eventually (unless you want to argue that they have already). I personally only use one for a sound card, but i think they'll continue to be used for sound cards, analogue video capture, tv cards, high end RAID and various other more specialised cards for a little while yet.
