Why are the PCI ports on the PowerMac G4s so long? On PCs they are about 3 1/2" long but on a PowerMac G4 they are about 5"
PCI-X - its fully backwards compatible with regular PCI, but can operate at 64bit and 66mhz or higher depending on chipset capabilities. More common in servers then desktop machines.
Shouldn't be confused with PCIe, which is a completely different beast. :) -- Brielle Bruns The Summit Open Source Development Group http://www.sosdg.org / http://www.ahbl.org -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
