umm anyone know when any pci-express 1x cards will be out? except some network cards that no one has ever heard of :chuckles:

why not just go with PCI 32-bit? you'd want to save all the pci channels for your video card.

performance wise no. unless you really want to save those other PCI slots for some reason then sure I guess wait for the pci-express
