I mean who decided how many slot were to be a standard on newer MB's? Many of the MB's I see now are only looking at SLI. In a BTV PC who could give a crud about SLI? I my self have always stayed just behind the tech curve as far as buying is concerned, but I resent the industry trying to force one to make changes that are unecessary. If it aint broke why would you want to fix/replace it?

I will agree this much - to date, Hauppauge has not released a PCIe version of the card. I also agree that at this point AGP gets the job done and we do not need SLI.
