Yes this is the next step close to the famous PC INCOMPATIBLE architecture we are approaching now. See my post below about my new core i5 machine at work. It is based on intel H57 and completly lacks PCI, IDE, FDC, COM, LPT, PS/2... just PCI-E, SATA and USB. Only one step remains - replace BIOS with EFI (EFI may contain BIOS compatibility module but I suspect it would be buggy and slow and quickly disappear).

BTW I have SB Audigy 2 too (few days ago I upgraded from SB live 1024).
