PCI Express x16 is fancy and new? Hmm, funny, I have like a 3 year old machine with one of those...
Unless you're talking about PCI Express 2.0 x16... that's apparently something different which I'm not familiar with
The GeForce 9 is coming out tomorrow? Darn, I should have held off on my order of a GeForce 8600
Here's the one I got - can't tell you how it is yet because it hasn't arrived yet, but I'll let you know when it does - should be later today, as according to the UPS tracker, it's "out for delivery" from the local distribution center as of today!

I also ordered a pair of 1GB RAM sticks, so that might also affect my performance, seeing as I'm currently at 1GB total, so don't attribute everything I'll be saying later on to the video card!
