I'm off to buy new MOBO and AMD 64 processor.

The problem is that i have a lot of PCI cards (3 sound cards, modem) and
newer MOBO as i see don't have 5 PCI slots like older ones.
The newer MOBO also have PCI express.

My questions:

Are PCI express slots compatibile with older cards (PCI) ?????
How faster (better) is actually PCI Epress ?????

Any good MOBO with 5 PCI slots (for AMD 64, 2 GB ram on it) to suggest ?????

Thnakzzzz


:D

PCI express cards are not compatible with the older PCI cards. PCI-e is the new video card standard.
