New standard for connecting graphics cards and other peripheral devices. It will be interesting to see how long Intel and AMD take to offer support through their CPU's since they have both consolidated their chipsets on to their respective processors.

"Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a client/server protocol that automatically provides an Internet Protocol (IP) host with its IP address and other related configuration information such as the subnet mask and default gateway.
