Faster PCIe 8.0 slot: The future.
#2
Every time they bring out a "better" standard it costs upgrading hardware.

Back in the day, when I made DVD's (as a hobby Wink ) I had this truly great video / capture card. One of these; https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/404110929956

New computer and that type of card slot vanished so I used a Hauppauge PCI card for a few years: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/365436493332?...=view_item

New mainboard and old style PCI slots went from three down to one. Not a lot of use if you also had a PCI sound card.

The same applies to memory - consign it to the junk box and also operating systems. I have a 2005 scanner, No good for Windows, the last working driver is for Windows XP.
