    Basically, the new standard will make old, 5V only PCI cards incompatable with the new standard.
    Which is crappy because PCI was so great because any PCI device would work in any PCI slot.

    Since this update wont change much, all we have is some newer mobos with PCI 3.0 wont be able to use some PCI cards. So, I feel its completely retarded to make this change, since there are no major benefits anyway.

    At least with PCI express coming, we can just use PCI-E peripherals in most new boards....i just hope the legacy PCI slots they include for hte next few years dont use PCI 3.0, since it will screw some ppl over:S
