PCI: Why won’t it die?

popup · popup's Computer Specs

Thank you for the explanation about PCIe links, I didn't know about that.

I remember the fuss that happened when PS2 ports and IDE sockets were removed from mobos over time. For some reason, ISA sockets disappeared quite happily... but they were around for a LONG time.

I'd love to get some PCIe cards but my mobo only has 3 PCIe x16 and 3 PCI.
