the dialogue on PCI-X on FreeBSD vs. PCI-X on Linux:
Hello,
My company is currently comparing FreeBSD to Linux: specifically FreeBSD
4.11-RELEASE to Fedora Core 3.
We're having a difficult time determining whether or not FreeBSD is
utilizing the higher speeds of the PCI-X bus.
My understanding is that it does.
The other thing I find interesting is that in my experience most Linux
applications run faster on freebsd using linux emulation that they do on
linux! I think this may have something to do with differences in kernel
overhead.. but you may need to speak to someone with greater technical
knowlege than I for an explanation.

Can anyone specifically state the status of PCI-X support in FreeBSD? The
state of support in 5.X is fine too. This is a major issue as we determine
which platform to move forward on.
Note that I do mean PCI-X. I'm aware that PCI-Express is on Scott Long's
wish-list of things to get implemented.
Cheers,
DMK
