is there any difference between the DS3P and the DS4 besides the heatpipes?
I,ve been watching some of your videos; i’m looking to build my system and the motherboard I am leaning to toward the intel extreme board. I remember you were also looking to get one; i’m woundering which you choose to go with? how relevant do you think pci X will be in the near future?
1st time i watched this-what a great idea!
thank you, i enjoyed it very much. keep up the good work.

PCI-X (PCI eXtended), while not technically obsolete, has been largely bypassed by the market for PCI-E (PCI Express). Check out these two Wikipedia articles for more details:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PCI_Express
If you meant PCI-E to begin with, It has already completely replaced AGP for high end video, and has largely replaced PCI for other expansion cards. Within a few years, PCI slots will probably disappear the way ISA slots did.
