[Solved] PCIe 3.0 and Ivy worth it?

Is it worth waiting for Ivy Bridge for PCIe 3.0, even if it won't be useful for a while?

not really

pci-e 3.0 is already available on some sandybridge boards anyway

such as the one i have

ivy bridge and pcie 3.0 are two brand new tachs to be introduced this year.
afaik pcie standards change every 4 years, so this year pcie 3.0 starts. it might be around for the next 4 years as more platforms adopt it. games still don't take advantage of the pcie 3.0, but tasks like gpu computing and other bandwidth-hungry tasks already utilize pcie 3.0. amd has already launched 2 pcie 3.0 gfx cards. many more will follow.
among sandy bridge cpus, only sandy bridge-e cpus e.g. core i7 3820, 3930k, 3960x and their chipset - x79 support pcie 3.0. mainstream sandy bridge cpus e.g. core i3/i5/i7 2xxx cpus do not support pcie 3.0.
the motherboard mcnumpty linked only works in pcie 3.0 mode if an ivy bridge cpu is used after a bios upgrade to make the mobo compatible with ivy bridge (in case it didn't come upgraded from the factory).

I'm def waiting for Ivy and z77 and GTX 6xx. Now how to kill time for two months...
