Allora un controller pci-x è compatibile con le pci???

Tnx!!

Si, ma il transfer-rate sarà quello dello slot pci normale!

PCI-X was developed jointly by IBM, HP, and Compaq. PCI-X is a revision to the PCI standard that doubles the clock speed (from 66 MHz to 133 MHz) and hence the amount of data exchanged between the computer processor and peripherals. Standard PCI supports up to 64-bit at 66 MHz (though anything above 32-bit at 33 MHz is only seen in high end systems) and additional bus standards move 32 bits at 66 MHz or 64 bits at 33 MHz. The theoretical maximum amount of data exchanged between the processor and peripherals with PCI-X is 1.06 GB/s, compared to 532 MB/s with standard PCI. PCI-X is generally backward compatible with PCI, meaning that you can, for example, install a PCI-X card in a standard PCI slot (but it will be limited to the standard PCI bus speed). PCI and PCI-X cards can be intermixed on a PCI-X bus, but the speed will be limited to the speed of the slowest card. PCI-X improves the fault tolerance of PCI allowing, for example, faulty cards to be reinitialized or taken offline.
