I will in my next major upgrade, but it require new video card, mother board, and a new cpu.

Can't wait to see some more speed test on what type of "real life" diffierneces it makes in games.

It is the replacement to AGP. It is tons faster (the first boards are at 16x speed for graphics card).

ACtuallly its not really that much faster. Its main advantage is that you can daisy chain 2 gfx cards together and effectively double your performance. I dont remember the exact bandwidth numbers, but I do remember that pci-x outperforms pci-ex
