Well put my only concern is that the industry adapts the 1x PCI-E standard before the 16x PCI-e proves to be to enticing to pass up. Especially with the new 64bit procesing the demand for highspeeds and bandwiths will be in high demand. Hands down for PC DAW freaks PCI-e will be the answer to "Limitless" possibilities. Admin…..

But I think the PCIe skepticism should be taken with a grain of salt. Back when MOTU was pushing the 828, I heard from people who said FireWire audio couldn't be done. MOTU begged to differ because they'd used something similar internally on their PCI cards. Again, as USB audio started catching on, people said the latency issues would never get solved, and that you couldn't get more than 2x2 audio -- again, proven completely wrong. USB2, same story; I heard from hardware makers who said USB2 would never perform well in audio. So while the underlying engineering issues merit some further investigation, and I'd be especially interested to hear why developers are unhappy, I do think PCIe is where things are going.
