A64 motherboards with PCI-E

[IamTHEsnake]

I had my sights set on going intel in a few months with their new chipsets, but it seems now that the overclocking is going to be limited to a sad 10%. The A64s are very powerful even though I neglected them for a long time. Intel's choice of launching ****ty cpus and limiting overclocking is a really bad move and therefore I am going to go AMD!!! I am only waiting until s939 boards with PCI-E come out, then I will buy a new computer.


Does anyone know when these motherboards are going to come out? I don't want AGP!!!!!.

What's wrong with AGP?

Why don't you want AGP? Check out the latest review on AnandTech: Intel's latest chipset w/PCI express. There are NO performance gains from going to PCI Express. In fact, it's currently slower in most cases because the cards are using adapters.

I'll be keeping my AGP 8x slot until I see a real need for PCI Express.

Ironically, the x1 PCI-E slots are more compelling of a reason to "switch" than the x16...
