Not sure if this is any help, but:  The 7-series cards work fine in
regular 32bit PCI slots.

yes, it will as pci-x slots are backwards compatible.

3ware Escalade 7506-4LP in PCI-X 66MHz slot?

2004-06-16 Thread freebsd_daemon
dear list,

I am planing to build a small DB-server and want to use a hot-swap capable
Raid 5 array of IDE disks for the data. I am going to use FreeBSD 4.10R.

I would like to use a 3ware Escalade 7506-4LP controller which is suppost to
require a "PCI 2.2 compliant 64-bit/66MHz bus" slot.

The mainboard I am considering (Tomcat E7210 S5112G2NR) has a PCI-X 66MHz
slot.

Will the 3ware controller work in that slot?

TIA

zheyu
