The problem is: I'm still waiting for some decent update (or modification) for the crappy, crappy UEFI-BIOS my Acer Aspire has (ie I can't change a fucking thing right now not even set the hardware virtualization on!!!) to exploit it.

I read your article because I am in the same situation with the T6400 that I want to upgrade. I noticed you choose the X9100 CPU and that you are complaining about the noise and battery the new CPU takes, since it is 44W (45?). I just have a simple question: Why did you not try the T9900? I boasts about the same price, has the same speed but is only 35W? Perhaps I missed something? :) Cheers! /Mehdi Hey there!

At only $3,500.00, I can't imagine why not! http://www.pcisig.com/specifications/order_form Really, though, this isn't as big of a deal as it seems; my reading of this is simply Intel looking to cut their development costs for the end of the market which likely would run screaming to their anti-virus to remove the nasty infection from their machine, were you to mention 'PCI' to them. The gamer niche might actually benefit from this, and push it forward, since many are likely to being using all PCIe components already, anyway; consumer machines will be fast and crash a lot, and servers will be slower, but use good old reliable PCI to trudge along. Such has it always been. Perhaps not enough people were buying the specs for PCIe? At only $3,500.00, I can’t imagine why not!
