New macs - pci express - What will this mean?

[jgoldenberg]

I am confused now, new g5 towers come with a pci-express video card. The xserve g5s come with a pci-x slot for use with gigabit ethernet, fiber channel or video card. I am assuming that pci-express is better than AGP? How does pci-x compare to AGP?

PCI-x.... 16 lane information transfer on the fastest slot, then either 8x or 4x.
Faster than AGP, and I believe in time prone to less errors and latency.

G5's too big??? consider Mac minis, if you only run 4-6 layers on them, and have them stripped down they are small little buggers, perfect for fitting a bunch in a case with a KVM switch.
