But with "lowly" 66/64 PCI providing 512MB/s of bandwidth, I don't think it
is a concern at all--even if it shares with everything else onboard..

This is a 1U HP Opteron box, so there is only 1 PCI-X slot. I don't know

What model of HP Opteron is it? I am guessing that it has two PCI-X
buses, as that is what the AMD chipset has.
The question is, is the slot on the same bus as the onboard GigE, etc.

Thanks for the answer, though. I don't want to have to spend $600 for
the PCI-X HBA when I can at least get it to see my Netapp with a $60
card.
