PCI Express - Semantics 2004-08-16 - By Rick Bolman

No, not the drivers.
PCI express is a new slot.
Much like AGP was different from PCI.
Some see the big benefit of PCIx in the portable (ie notebook) arena.
System boards can be designed to have user swappable graphics much like
desktop systems.

So it comes down to the drivers?
As usual, the hardware comes out faster than the software.
I would agree with you that the top dog graphics cards have changed once
again at ATI and nVidia....seems to be quite a race.
Thanks,
