Originally posted by Lucidity Yes, I knew this about PCI and PCIe, its just, for some reason I remember reading a while back that the PCIe dsp card was for mac only. But that was a while back, that may have been the case at the time and not any more. Or maybe I am just retarted But, If the cards have the same chips, what is the big difference? Just latency? The reason I ask is because on this page http://www.tcelectronic.com/PowerCoreExpress.asp They make the 2 cards seem the same, they say they run the same amount of plugs and same dsp speed. So is the biggest difference just latency?

Originally posted by thecYrus latency shouldn't be different. it's just another interface. that's what the difference is (PCI is replaced by PCIe)

Then why such a high price hike? In Sweetwater.com the PCIe version is $400 more.....

I have a spare PCIe slot but, I also have spare pci slots. So what you are saying is it is pointless for me to get the PCIe version?

well in the future there won't be much mainboards with PCI slots. so next time you buy a new computer you have probably to change your DSP card.

10x but not for all plugins. The reverbs actually use more than twice the processing now, LA2A and Cambridge also use way more power on the new system. That's why the new software will let you assigns each plugin to be loaded on either UAD1 or UAD2. After all looks like my UAD-1 are really worth keeping. Otherwise the "Shark" processing power will be wasted on these plugins.
