While we're at it, can we get a new motherboard standard that acknowledges the fact that video cards are at least as complex as the motherboard itself? With the strong preference for a ring configuration for central cooling, like the trash can Mac Pros. Or a star one.
If I recall correctly the only reason that configuration was abandoned was because the physical distance between the CPU and RAM needed to be as short as possible. I liked the Pentium 2 card as much as the next guy but I like faster system speeds more.
