Yeah I've seen then too,is it still OCZ the only brand doing them?
There are others but they're usually aimed at enterprise/server/workstations more than they are the gaming enthusiast.
I like the idea that you stick it right to the MOBO and it meant to be really fast,a lot faster than a classic SSD..there may be one problem however,you know that by current way of the MOBO layout(any brand) the PCI slot is wether covered by the VGA card or it too damn close which could cause heat problems on the PCI SSD card.
Yeah, choosing the right board or GPU will really make a difference, generally they all use pretty similar layouts but even though these current PCIe SSDs are only 4 or 8x - they'll still fit in a full size slot. Forward thinking is key here.
Personally, if I was in Igg's position I'd most likely get a new GPU first and then the PCIe SSD as they'll most likely get smaller when more companies start releasing theirs.
