No. PCI-X is just a wider/higher-speed version of PCI, not a new bus. > Will Digium offer cards that support the new bus? All of our cards work in PCI-X slots, but none of them take advantage of 64-bit slots or speeds higher than 33MHz. > What about a new line of Digium cards that have bridge cables that run > between the various cards and bypass the PCI bus?

It's also ludicrously expensive to implement, so you won't see it on Digium cards any time soon :-) _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- Asterisk-Users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
