Greetings!

We took an ATI Radeon HD3850 mainstream card and an Nvidia GeForce 9800 GX2 dual GPU high end board and limited their PCI Express 2.0 interfaces to x8, x4 and x1 link speeds in an effort to find out whether or not PCI Express 2.0 is really necessary to achieve the expected performance.

Flight Simulator... d'oh!

Blimey they eaked that article out for all it was worth didnt they.

I usually find myself quite often screaming internally at Toms articles "for f sake just get on with it!!"

Why write a two page article when eight pages will do.
