[QUOTE="badmojo, post: 123935"] This is probably another reason Apple is going Intel. PCIe has better bandwidth than AGP, but few add-in cards really need this extra speed. PCIe will become a standard in the not-to-distant future, and my guess it that the first Mactel towers will include this technology. A quote from Intel's website regarding PCIe: Video editing (especially high-definition) requires large amounts of data to be transferred. With PCI Express, this content can be created and modified in real-time with off-the-shelf hardware and software. [/QUOTE]
