Andy,

Yeah, I know what you mean, slow take up on the PCI-E side - but that could be mainly down to poor supply of the highend cards - if you look at the AGP versions, lots of makes, but very few if any in stock. I think the like of OCuk have stopped putting new ones up if they can't get hold of them for now.

Still early days for PCI-E, I'm personally holding off for a few months as I've just been through the early days of 939 and experienced problems there in. But really happy with my 939 set-ups now (note the rev2 boards), they should keep me going for a while.

Also, I want to see what AMD do chip wise, rumours of a new FX chip Q3 '05

 

Keep looking in on the Computer Forum to see which way I swing (oo,er missus!!!, lol), SLi, PCI-e, agp.

Like I said, the money for the mobo and GFX card ain't there til after Xmas, so time is on my side to see what happens. 2 months is a VERY long time in computer terms. I'm still going for the 3500+ socket 939 Winchester (cos I've heard it's one of the best), but the mobo and GFX card are still up for debate.

Thanks,

Andy.

 

I'll keep an eye out, either way good luck

 

I like your set up you have there Dr Evil very nice spec, yeah i will try to hold out till the new hardware has settled in a little its hard when your very impatiant like me though

ATI are also bringing out a new chipset soon to try and match the Nvidia4 so thats even more to confuse everyone.

Think main reason not many high end PCI-E cards is just like you say Drevil with it being such a new technology the manufactuers cant just leave AGP all of a sudden and concentrate on the new 16X PCI-E

Until my case is available early in the new year i wont be buying any bits anyhow so just keep on top of what to avoid when i do get round to the big shop.
