PCI-E... any cards???

[PsycoGeek]

Are there any cards availiable on PCI-E other than graphics cards? I'm just wondering, because I haven't seen any yet... but then again, I haven't been looking. Have any cards been announced for PCI-E?

Off the top of my head, Gigabit NICs, Raid controllers, think there's a TV Tuner or two as well. PhysX cards will be coming out for PCI-e as well.

I only saw one NIC and several expansion cards (firewire and USB 2.0) on Newegg. You know what would be hilarious? A PCI-E 56k Modem!

Sure - My Areca 1260 Raid 6 card is PCI-E.... Works great under linux too.

I look forward to the day when ATX boards have seven PCIe x16 slots. Too bad that is years away.

Some integrated NICs are "invisibly" PCI-E...they actually use a few PCI-E lanes instead of the PCI bus. Almost always GigE controllers in this case.
