PCI-X Compatability Issues
I am planning a Motherboard upgrade in the near future.
The one that overall best suits my needs (a Supermicro) has a combination of 3 64 bit PCI-X and 2 32bit PCI expansion slots. All the PCI cards I will be installing are 32bit universal type.(5v and 3.3v keys) I will be fitting 3in total so one will need to go into a PCI-X slot. I understand that there should be no problem with this but, is this as things are in reality or can I expect any problems? Should I avoid using any particular type of card (i.e. sound card) in a PCI-X slot. TIA for any comments. Roger

No they are defiantly PCI-X. Supermicro classify the board as a "workstation" board. It uses a single P4 cpu.
