[edit] article language

This is by no means a criticism of the PCIe specification -- merely a reminder that PCIe is not exempt to the rules of a layered packet protocol, no more so than other comparable high-speed serial technologies (such as Serial ATA and Fibre Channel). It seems to me this language doesn't belong in an encyclopedia article. How about (This is not an issue peculiar to the PCI express interface.) If nobody complains, I'll change it. Feel free to revert (with discussion).—Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.245.211.95 (talk • contribs) 05:56, January 17, 2006 (UTC)

[edit] PCI Express

Please  wikipedia

 In   Hardware   level.   Talk me  in   bit  or  bits   or   b.
  
 In   Software   level.   Talk me  in   BYTE  OR  BYTES  or  B.

 No confusion for  final  user, PLEASE !
  

 or   always   b =   bit(s)    and  B  =  BYTE(S)

[edit] PCI Express 2.0 Specification

Does anyone have a soild source regarding the upcoming PCI Express 2.0 specification? Most notably the expected final release date and the added hardware support for virtualization in this new standard?

I'm missing information on the PCIE 1.0a spec. What is different for 1.0a?

What is newer, 1.0 or 1.0a? What does it mean for a graphics card to be 1.0a compliant? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.67.94.68 (talk • contribs) 10:06 May 9, 2006 (UTC)

[edit] PCIe is supported primarily by Intel,

I'm running an AMD Opteron Server board right now that has two PCIe slots, the other MBs I was looking at had them also. I'm not sure how the intel support line is accurate anymore. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.185.6.18 (talk) 07:01, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

This article does not mention PCIe x12 with a speed of 3000 MB/s (3 GB/s)

[edit] 8b/10b derating

The article gives lane speed of 250MB/s, which already includes overhead from 8b/10b coding, and then says "However the data rates cited must be derated because 8b/10b coding". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.237.242.93 (talk) 17:18, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] graphic card

sir,

   i hve a computer of 3gbram,core 2 quad,s975xbx2, and i work on m0delling softwares which is the best graphic card do you suggest  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.167.108.95 (talk) 15:21, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
