I rather like PCI. I think PCI could have gone a lot further if they had standardized on 66Mhz (a 32-bit, 66Mhz slot has more bandwidth than a PCIe 1.0 1x slot).
floppy will soon be gone, and ide... well ide is still out there but barely..
and audio is pretty good on intergrated solutions so reasons to keep it around are getting pretty slim
Eaten into extinction? Mmmm PCB *nom nom nom*it needs to go the way of the dodo bird.....
I'd rather not have a wireless fob sticking out of my PC where something can hit it and damage it: I have that problem enough with USB drives. If it can be in my case, then I want it there instead.USB can handle most wireless needs and audio is pretty good on intergrated solutions so reasons to keep it around are getting pretty slim
I doubt it as so many sound cards still utilize PCI.
Agreed, look at how long floppy and IDE have held on...
Intel is starting to end support with the H67, P67 and H61 chipsets. Q67, Q65 and B65 will retain it when they are released, but the end is near.

It's time. Most people do not use pci soundcards these days as the onboard is good enough. I haven't used a pci slot for anything other than tv tuners or a nic in years, and both either have cheap pci express alternatives or is handled by onboard equipment.
While it is possible that PCI will be phased out by the majority of the motherboard manufacturers, I would not be surprised if a handful of them create a line of boards, or even just single model numbers, that will continue to utilize PCI.
Like what was already said by Jshay, a lot of audio cards use the PCI bus, and audiophiles are an incredibly picky bunch when it comes to which card they continue to use. Also, WiFi expansion cards are usually PCI, but only some have started the PCI-e migration.
Thanks for the link, it was a decent read.
pci is a dead platform. Just like AGP. I mean shit, it is still alive. AGP was around since 98.
