Nathan, I certainly understand your position. I was in the same place years ago when the big switch was made from ISA to PCI.
Needless to say, when an audio computer is built, it's a contained unit, and is only "outdated" depending on your mindset.
If it works, it works. That's why there are still PARIS sytems out there powering studios.
As for compatibility with future motherboards, I wouldn't get too worried. It took some manufacturers years to get rid of the ISA slots. My guess, based on past trends, is that PCI & PCI express will be available together on the same board for quite a while..... Audio PCs won't be the only systems effected by the change. The enitre world isn't going to throw out thier PCI cards any time soon, and the motherboard manufacturers know that.
