    Nope. It would run the same. No cards except for the latest 7800's and x1800Xt's utilise pci-e to the fullest, aswell as crossfire and sli combos. [/b][/quote]
    o rly? i thought the pci e slots incresed te clock speed..

    they do. But cards arent good enough yet. The best of the current generation take advantage but you will see the big difference with the upcoming G80 and R570 Cores.

    PCI-Express doesn't increase the clock speed or memory speed ... it makes the transfer between your mobo and your gpu faster. But, after reading many reviews, even F.E.A.R. doesn't use all of the 2.1 GB/s that AGPx8 has. PCI-E has a rate of 4 GB/s ... the clock speeds and everything else are the same. I probably would have gotten a 7800 GT if i had a PCI-E mobo ... in about 2 years ill get a PCI-E or whatever is new by then motherboard :D
