[QUOTE="Tdog, post: 131778, member: 7955"] the pci express has the capability of 16x where as the agp only had 8x ,The 16x slot has the possible bandwidth of 8GB/s in both directions or 4GB/s in one direction. This is about twice the 2.1GB/s bandwidth of the AGP 8x standard it is of course necessary to have a motherboard and cards that supports it. The primary benefits of the PCI Express bus will first be seen with graphics cards. Already NVIDIA and ATI are developing 16x PCI Express based cards. Other devices that will benefit will be gigabit Ethernet cards that can now operate in Full Duplex mode and RAID controllers. Most early boards will still have a few standard PCI card slots to allow for the transition, but with the potential of the PCI Express interface, once they start to be used the transition will probably be very rapid.
