Hello,

Doesn’t every IT manager want to ensure that the datacenter technology they choose today will still 
be relevant in 2010?

The PCI Express* IT Network, launched this week by Intel, has been developed to prepare 
senior-level IT managers for the improvements to I/O that will be brought on by the implementation 
of PCI Express products in 2004.  PCI Express products will affect multiple market segments 
including desktop, mobile, server and communications.  Membership in the PCI Express IT Network is 
the fastest way to stay up-to-date on everything PCI Express.

In the coming months, there will be many special opportunities and events for participants of the 
IT Network.  A few of the benefits of membership include:

*  Members' Only information kits including white papers, case studies, presentations, 3D 
animations, models of PCI Express board and more
*  Monthly PCI Express e-newsletters to keep you informed on the latest industry development 
progress including product availability from across the industry
*  Information on early PCI Express evaluation opportunities from Intel
*  A direct connection to both PCI Express technology experts and IT peers to answer your questions

More information about PCI Express technology and the PCI Express IT Network can be found at

About PCI Express Technology

As you may know, PCI Express is an industry-standard serial I/O technology backed by over 350 
companies.  With the demands of emerging computing models exceeding the capabilities of the 
traditional PCI bus there is a need for much greater internal system bandwidth and rich feature set 
for the next decade.  PCI Express architecture offers a high-speed, general-purpose, serial I/O 
interconnect for computing and communications.  PCI Express architecture provides bandwidth 
scalability from 2.5 Gigabits per second and higher over time; support for multiple widths (lanes) 
of 1, 2, 4, 8, 12, 16 and 32; support for multiple market segments; desktop, mobile, server and 
communications; and cost-effective solutions including a low pin count interface offering maximum 
bandwidth per pin, reducing cost and enabling innovative form factors.
