In summary, Intel will develop PCI Express to enhance PC performance to new heights, but there may be some issues with compatibility and the need for specialized versions for different types of cards. Some people also prefer the simplicity of plug-and-play options like USB and Firewire to avoid IRQ problems.

...alright?

PCI-E is going to be a disaster. The whole point was to do away with legacy ports, yet there's going to be specialized versions for different kinds of cards.

PCI-E doesn't provide 'specialized versions for different kinds of cards', only slots providing different amounts of bandwidth (1X -16X) by differing the number of 'lanes' (serial connections).

Did I miss a memo or something?

Everything needs to be like USB or Firewire. Just plug it in and go. I hate IRQ problems.
 

1. What is Intel's PCI Express Technology?

Intel's PCI Express Technology is a type of input/output (I/O) architecture that is used to connect peripheral devices, such as graphics cards and solid-state drives, to a computer's motherboard. It allows for faster data transfer rates and can significantly improve overall system performance.

2. How does Intel's PCI Express Technology boost PC performance?

Intel's PCI Express Technology boosts PC performance by providing a dedicated connection between the CPU and peripheral devices, which allows for faster data transfer rates and reduces the bottleneck effect. This results in improved overall system speed and responsiveness.

3. Can Intel's PCI Express Technology be used with any computer?

Intel's PCI Express Technology can be used with most modern computers, as long as the motherboard has a compatible PCI Express slot. However, it is important to note that the full benefits of this technology can only be realized if the connected peripheral devices also support PCI Express.

4. Are there any downsides to using Intel's PCI Express Technology?

One potential downside to using Intel's PCI Express Technology is that it may require a motherboard upgrade, which can be costly. Additionally, some peripheral devices may not be compatible with this technology, which may limit its effectiveness.

5. Is there any maintenance or upkeep required for Intel's PCI Express Technology?

No, there is no specific maintenance or upkeep required for Intel's PCI Express Technology. However, it is important to regularly update your computer's drivers and firmware to ensure compatibility and optimal performance.
