    Say, will all PCI Express AMD motherboards be on BTX factor or there will be some ATX ones too ?

      Good question, and one that I have pondered over many times. I think that PCIE will intially be on ATX with BTX mobos to follow during the second half of this year. But hey, I am hoping BTX comes out when PCIE and DDR2 come out in a month or two.

        Great news
        I am still using my old full tower casing ( more than ten years now) and was thinking of getting another to replace it ( it is getting a bit rusty here and there) now i think the old boy can go on till the BTX comes along with AMD64/PCI-Express/DDR2

        My rig is now good enough for another 2 years at least as i am no longer playing a lot of FPS (only FPS i am playing once in a while now is No One Lives Forever) and mainly using it for simple graphics editing and some programming.

        Helevitia -> there are some good 25ms 19"/20"/21" LCDs or you can get one of the 16ms 17" LCDs.
        edit: i mean monitors of course
