Here's my dilemma. I started to order parts for a new pc. In the past I've always gone the "most bang for the buck" route. This time I decided to go all out for the video card and cpu. I already ordered and received an ATI Radeon 9800xt (with free copy of Half Life 2). For the CPU I was planning on an AMD Athlon 64 3400+, which I have yet to order. Then I started reading up on PCI Express. Seems it will be here sooner than I realized. So what to do? I could return the video card (it's still in the wrapper), and wait 2 to 4 months for a PCI-E solution, or keep it and continue with my current plans. Any thoughts?
