Hello all, does anyone know when the next generation of cards to succeed the X2Ks will come out?

I'm about to build a system but can wait 3-6 months for new things to come out.
 
Building a system when new cards come out all come down to wether or not they are gonna change the interface. I heard rumours of PCI-E 2.0 but I really cant wait 3 months to get a new pc.
 
theres always something new that's comes out so if you wait you won't be able to build it. did'nt wanna wait so i bought a 8800gts 640.:D
 
Nvidia Geforce 91999 5GB of DDR7
featuring a dual giggafizzle graphics processor made by Apple
and Umbrella Corp, Needing 3200watts. Looks something like this:

Not sure if you know this or not but pci-e 2.0 is backwards compatible with the original pci-e.

that means that pci-e 2.0 can use pci-e cards not pci-e 2.0 cards on pci-e 1. if u want to get new cards u have to have pci-e 2.0. atleast that's waht i heard not sure though.

Ok bit confused but lets trust wikipedia :)

PCIe 2.0 doubles the bus standard's bandwidth from 2.5 Gbit/s to 5 Gbit/s, meaning a x32 connector can transfer data at up to 16 GB/s in each direction. PCIe 2.0 is still compatible with PCIe 1.1, so older cards will still be able to work in machines with this new version.

So if I understood correctly, older pci-e 1.1 cards will work ok with new pci-e 2.0 slot.

939 to AM2 was quick man not to mention the fact that AM2 were just upgrader 939s I know I'm pissed about this as a big AMD fan when this happened. Hence my e4300 vs. getting a AM2
 
Wiki

It was made available in June 2004 and replaced by AM2 in May 2006.
