Hi,

I have an Asus Blitz Formula board and I'm pretty sure it PCI-E slot is rev 1 or 1.1. I'm going to be getting a 4870 1gb or X2 whenever it comes out but am also thinking of upgrading to a PCI-E 2 board (single slot).

I'm was thinking of the Asus P5Q Pro as it seems to be popular, I take it there is a marginal increase in bandwidth with the rev 2 PCI-E slots that would warrant the upgrade. Anyone have experiance of this in a similar situation ?
 
I run a Q6600 at 3.2. I heard though that the 4870X2 may be better off with the extra bandwidth (If I decide to wait for that card).
