News Working PCIe 2.0 demonstrated

[Tefra]

BEHIND CLOSED DOORS yesterday in a secret mountain fortress in Utah and three doors down from the SCO secret mountain fortress with the 'for rent' sign up, the PCI-SIG met.

During the secret planning sessions to take over the world, Pinky tossed out an idea, but since there were no camels or green spraypaint, The Brain decided to go with his plan and demo working PCIe 2.0 devices.

The demo was an unnamed Intel chipset and an unnamed Nvidia GPU. We are told both worked well together, it is hard to make a good demo much less take over the world with static mockups. In any case, this bodes well for PCIe2.0 launches with the next gen Intel chipsets in Q3.

We are told that there was no DAAMIT demo to counter it, but with 2.0 being backwards compatible with 1.1, it isn't the end of the world.
