PCI Express
Hey all,
I'm in a bit of a time crunch and i'm having a hard time locating a PC with 2 PCI Express slots 16-bit with windows XP. Does anyone have any recommendations? Maybe even help put one together?

"16-bit" did you mean 16x? What will be installed in the slots? If video cards are you looking for SLI(Nvidia) or Crossfire(AMD/ATI)?

This will need to go in both slots

We need a new pc to put those cards in so we can stretch video accross three screens.

Do you want OEM or DIY? If OEM any manufacturer's you would prefer?

I'd prefer OEM but wouldnt be opposed to do it myself
Do you prefer Dell, HP, IBM, etc...?
and whats your budget for the machine?

Also realize that most of the OEM'ers may not have Dual PCI-E 16x slots out of the box.....So going that route may not be so easy...or cheap.

Are there any OEM's out there that do have it?
The high-end gaming PC's (e.g. some Dell XPS systems) will have dual 16x slots => but I'm not aware of any business-oriented desktops that do.
Many of dell's workstations(precision series) also have dual 16x pci-e slots.
