What do you guys think is the BEST PCI express mobo for my Barton?
Surely there is one. I haven't gotten to look much so if you know off hand that would be the shizzy.
AMD boards dont have PCI Express yet. Neither is there a need for PCI express for most people as the PCI bus is still yet to be saturated.

i could have sworn someone told me there was a PCI-E AMD. I assume you're right though.
The reason being me asking this is because I was going to buy a new video card(hence my post about ATI and Nvidia) and I was thinking I should just get a PCI-E mobo. so yeah...i should just go ahead and get the agp? would there be an uber difference in an x800 for my amd and the PCI-E on for the P4s?

Yes No
There isnt really a need to migrate to PCIx yet as even D3 wont test AGP8x

'sides even if that had PCI Express for AMD it would be for the A64 line not the A32 line

Yes No
true praetor. so yeah as far as technology goes for the 32bit processors i might as well just go ahead and get agp?

Yes No
Yeah and realistically there isnt a game out yet that seriously stresses AGP8X yet so you'll be fine! that PCI-x 16 thing is just a buncha marketing mumbo jumbo (for now)

finally someone gave me something i wanted to hear. i have wondered if the PCI-E really made a difference because I thought it was just a technology to sell products. I never found a hard comparision.

Think of the new PCIx as AGP16x but since AGP8x is barely tested.... makes it kinda moot point.

Yes No
Yeah...I knew that I just wasn't sure if games were coming out soon to push those limits...but i don't see a whole lot surpassing doom 3 for a while and even after that while i don't see why an 6800gt wouldn't run that at least decently.
