Ok, so it's getting close to the time when I'm going to be looking for a PC to buy, and I've got some questions!
What's PCI-Express X16? A new, new type of graphics thing I guess. Or is X1 the new type? I dunno!
At futureshop, only some of the computers are listed with having PCI-E X16, along with an X1 which I guess is just the other type. Specifically <a href="http://www.futureshop.ca/catalog/proddetail.asp?logon=&langid=EN&sku_id=0665000FS10084207&catid=">Acer</a> ones, and none of the others.
So is like PCI-EX16 going to be the new standard, leaving normal PCI-E cards all expensive and old like AGP or PCI cards?
Also is Acer a good brand? It seems like it, at least!
