Looks like the industry is looking to update PCI-E.  According to what ive read, they are going to double the bandwidth from 2.5 Gbps to 5.0 Gbps.  It also seems that the final revision will be backwards compatible.

Eh. By the end of 2009 we'll be reading about PCI-e 3.0 with twice the bandwidth of PCI-e 2.0. I'll worry about the bandwidth gap at that point.Tongue

Hmm I musta missed the date, and I wasnt aware that PCI-E 2.0 was out.  Has it been shown to give a good boost over 1.0?
