The Age of PCI-E 3.0 has begun.

[Faoeoa]

Within the end of this month, the age of motherboards will change
I'll say: hang on tight before building a new PC & check out the bulldozer coming up.

Also offtopic: Xbox 720s & PS4s to use Bulldozer Processors
So if you want a glimpse of the next-gen console graphics then swoop one in october.

NOTE: People with P67 chipsets are bound to have the next Intel processors work for your PC, but don't buy these boards yet, they'll only be in use at 2012!

Will they be compatible with PCI-E 2 cards?

I've heard somewhere that they have, probably unofficial but they would be selling these in 2012 if they wasn't.

Wait for the Ivy Bridge Processors and the next NVIDIA and AMD series graphics card if you want to utilize this.

I wonder if they fit in the same cases as before...

I probably think so, don't try this until some experts have tried some attempts, i'll be keeping an eye on Ivy Bridge & PCI-E 3.0

So TL;DR don't buy a new computer until 2012?

Or just buy one that you can upgrade easily
