David,

Do you know why PCI Express specification has to cost $475 for non-PCISIG 
members?
A year ago, PCI 2.2 specification cost only $40 even for
non-PCISIG members, but was recently raised to $100.
Although I didn't like that price hike, I still could live with that price, 
but now PCI Express specification costs $475 (I was hoping it will be $100 
like the conventional PCI specification.), and that really discourages 
individuals like myself from obtaining the specification.
