I don't know why you would be sad about this. ATM 2 cards are definitely not being used to its limits. MAYBE crysis. Ill put it into an analogy, 2 cards in 2008 is to 4 cards in 2010. And even then, I think that 2 cards will be almost 100% utilized and hence be the norm just how 2GB is the norm at the moment for system memory.

raid cards, I want to get a 16x card, and what does it matter how many cards you think I need. If I wanted to put 4 video cards in a computer why the hell would you care?

Oh yeah, I'd kill for a nice four-slot PCIe x8 X38/X48 board :)

CrossFire with 2 or 3 cards, + a PCIe RAID controller.

Don't get your panties in a bunch there. I stated that the utilization for 2 cards is far from 100% at the moment. You can spend however much money you want on a 4 card configuration, the hell if I care what you buy.

well that was what I was thinking, why would you care, it doesnt really matter to me what others think but you immediatly thought I was using 3 or more video cards, and thats not the case. Right now I have 2 PCI raid cards, they work good but I think I could get better read/write times if I had them on a PCI-E 16x. And if x38 already had 2 PCIe and 3 on some, I really thought they were gonna put 3 maybe 4 on the x48. So thats why I was diaspointed(sad). the PCIe bus is a very fast bus thats used for more than just video.
