When will Intel move away from socket 775 and introduce PCI-E 2.0?
Question so that i will know when they release it,coz my bad experience before,1 month after i bought my P4 3.0Ghz 478,they release socket 775 and PCI-E,making life difficult for 478 users!
not anytime soon. i had the chance to look at the LGA775 tech specs WAY before it was released (this was in 2003-2004) and it can serve a CPU more than it's ever needed (voltages, bandwidth per pincount). but yeah i think the next big microarchitecture upgrade will see a revision to the mature 775 socket. multi-core plus with the new CSI architecture, they definitely need more pins in the socket.Question so that i will know when they release it,coz my bad experience before,1 month after i bought my P4 3.0Ghz 478,they release socket 775 and PCI-E,making life difficult for 478 users!
it has nothing to do with pci-e 2.0. that is a feature of the northbridge. besides if the graphics card you want to buy doesnt support pci-e 2.0, it'll b useless anyway...but the backward-compatibility feature is something i look forward to, just in case i want to have an upgrade in the future.
what, do you want to change your mobo again? not me
