PCIe is a bus that uses transactions. I am not sure you could use it for plain ram the way you could with the ISA bus given that was simply a localbus to the system. I suppose it might be posible though given you are supposed to be able to have PCI/PCIe devices memory mapped. Perhaps because PCs have lots of ram, and PCI was limited in general to 32bit addressing, it was never a feasible or worthwhile way to add memory to a system. -- Len Sorensen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
