I've been looking into upgrading my machine this fall/winter and I've decided I'm waiting for one of Intel's yorkfield processors (something preferably around $300, or equivalent in value to the e6600 when it came out). I also decided I'll be buying one of nvidia's G92 cards as well, and I've heard they're using PCI express 2.
My current motherboard (Asus P5W DH Deluxe) is rumored to not support yorkfields as well as PCI-ex 2. If nvidia's new cards use PCI-ex 2 and my motherboard doesn't support it, does that mean I can't use the card or maybe it'll just run at PCI-ex 1 speed?
I'm strongly considering picking up an X38 motherboard when they come out due to the fact that they'll support everything, is that worth it or is there something out now that'll be compatible with yorkfields and PCI-ex 2? My apologies if this question has been asked a lot.
