Re: PCI Express
Complex compatability issues? It's easier to build a PC today than it ever has been. It's just a matter of putting the bits in the only holes they'll fit in. The only bit that's tricky is setting master/slave/cable select jumpers on IDE drivers, and SATA is going to get rid of that anyway.

Oddly, part of me longs for the days of the ISA bus and resolving IRQ conflicts in DOS...
