PCI-E is a serial architecture. Each PCI-E device is on its own 'bus' vs. legacy PCI devices all sharing resources. I believe that running all pci-e versions of your system devices will eliminate all the IRQ crap that DAW guys wrestle with.
Plus the bandwidth is better (250 full duplex PER x1 LANE!! vs. 133 shared with all slots+onboard devices). More tracks PLUS more space for your UAD-1, Liquid Mix, Duende etc. to operate (The latter two running on PCI-E Firewire cards). Ostensibly, no hardware conflicts anymore...?  one can only hope
So it will be easier to build Audio PC's at least....  |
Us Mac guys never dealt with IRQ's!!!!
