Modern graphics cards are normally PCI-e (PCI-express). For stuff like soundcards and network cards PCI still is the norm.


   It's really only a minor point but actually, modern IBM compatible boards are coming with few if any PCI slots anymore. PCIe is quickly becoming the norm for even addon sound cards.

Asus, Creative both have PCIe cards out. Of course with built on 7.1 audio many people don't even have a sound "card" anymore.

   I love that AmigaOS 4.1 has a home now but I'd hope that future boards would eliminate things like the FPGA and add PCIe slots instead.
