About LinkBacksWhen will we see PCI-Express cards like soundcards, TV-cards, etc?
Haven't been keeping up with recent PCI-Express news, and can't recall any being mentioned.

I know ATi's new PVR chip will come in both pci and pci-e flavours
I'll be upgrading to a PCIe RAID 5 card early next year (drop it in to replace my PCI model... bo selecta!)
They won't use 16 lane PCIe though, more like 1x.

I've seen a few PCI-Express network cards about on some specialist sites. What else needs that extra speed tho?

PCI can't handle more than 133MB/s - so that's less than a SATA burst at full rate. Add four SATA channels in RAID5 and you've got some serious sustained and burst potential there... cue PCIe!
