| 339842 | 2005-03-31 04:37:00 | Just read the latest issue of PCW mag and in particular page 47, the "Graphics Card Showdown" article . In the article there is a section on AGP vs PCI-Express . Through the article there is reference to PCI-X, supposedly referring to the PCI-Express standard . Now I am not argueing with the author, however to my knowledge, PCI-X was an upgraded version of the PCI bus standard which was supposed to have run speeds of 133, 266 & 533MHz . So what am I saying is the article is incorrectly using the abbreviation PCI-X for PCI-Express when it should actually be PCI-E . Please correct me if I am wrong in this regard . Read more about the PCI-X bus standard here ( . interfacebus . com/Design_Connector_PCI_X . html" target="_blank">www . interfacebus . com) Whatever did happen to the advent of the PCI-X bus standard? Your comments appreciated? cheers chiefnz |

| 339845 | 2005-03-31 05:01:00 | Chiefnz - You are correct. PCIe is the correct abbreviation for PCI-Express as our Servers have PCI-X slots |
