Another thing to do with PCI-e is SLI. I currently have an AGP card and it works pretty good for most games, but I would like it to run a lot better and also for upcoming games I don't know how it would hold up. SLI allows for TWO graphics cards to be used and I assume this just means twice the amount of video RAM? (Maybe someone could go into a little further on this?) If your'e going to buy one of these, yes its a little more expensive for the motherboard, but not too bad at all, around $150 USD. If your'e going to PCI-e anyway, I would rather spnd an extra 30 on the motherboard so in the future it makes for easier and "cheaper" upgrading...
