I would say no. I have to agree with Sham's post. Personally, I don't
see myself going near PCI Express until the second half of next year at
the earliest. 2006 is a big possibility too. By then, the hardware will
have matured and there will probably be games out which better utilize the
technology. My advice is let someone else be the early adopter.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->
