PCI-X
Is it possible to put a "64 bit PCI-X" card in a "normal" 32 bit PCI slot? Will it work properly?
PCI 64
Does anyone know anything about PCI 64? Is it a homonym for some other spec? I can't find any mention of it on the PCI SIG site, but Adaptec (amongst others) label some of their products as PCI 64. Mr. Jones 12:02, 17 Mar 2005 (UTC)
I'm guessing that means 64-bit PCI. 64-bit PCI slots are longer than 32-bit PCI slots, to hold 32 extra pins. --DavidCary 04:06, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Forth, PCI and OpenFirmware
Perhaps someone could elaborate on the Forth boot code that was originally speced in the PCI standard?
I didn't think OpenFirmware, which is surely what you mean, was originally, or is, part of the PCI standard. It was common on Sun workstations and Apple Macs (and still is) and those machines also used PCI busses. But I don't think that either standard was included in the other. --drj
Any thoughts on PCI 2.3?
Dell - 64 bit?
I've just opened up a Dell server, and it has extended PCI slots. Are these 64 bit PCI slots, or something proprietry? If so a photo here would be nice. Rich Farmbrough 17:46, 8 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Speed
So PCI 2.2 allows for a "peak transfer" of "533 MB/s"? [1] (http://www.sisoftware.net/index.html?dir=qa&location=ben_net&langx=en&a=) say that you will be limited to 30 MB/s to 50 MB/s on a non X/Express PCI.--Jerryseinfeld 14:24, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Universal PCI
The page should definitely have some info on Universal PCI. I.e. PCI cards that accept both 5 V and 3.3 V. (June 22, 2005)
