My current computer is running a P4 1.4ghz, 384 megs of ram and a GeForce2 TI 64MB. I'm planning on upgrading mid-August, and was wondering about a few things. When are PCI-X motherboards going to be released for AMD? Also, is DDR2 ram common yet? I've been looking around for it, but couldn't find anything. Lastly, when(if at all) will PCI-X become mainstream? If I upgrade using AGP in mid-August to a Radeon 9800 pro 128mb(might go with GeForce 6800), some high quality 1gb ram and an Athlon 64 3000, will it last me for about 2 to 3 years, or will new software utilizing PCI-X force me to upgrade sooner?
 
IMO not really. Current technology doesn't even take advantage of the full 8x... Why they are going to 16x is beyond me. If you are willing to spend a lot of money, go for it!...!
