Hey all,
I'm looking at some cheap Fibrechannel HBA's on ebay. The auction lists
them as PCI 64/66mhz. Does anybody know if they will work in a PCI-X slot?
There are too many PCI variants! :(
Thanks!

Hey
PCI-X is 64 bit PCI, with a data rate of 100/133/266/533MHz, and is
backwards compatible all the way down to 32bit 33MHz (but it must be
3.3volt.
All 64bit/66Mhz cards are 3.3volt.
Putting this card in a PCI-X slot will cause the bus to slow down to
66MHz, most server boards have several PCI-X
This is a 1U HP Opteron box, so there is only 1 PCI-X slot. I don't know
if there are any internal devices on the MB that share the same bus.
Thanks for the answer, though. I don't want to have to spend $600 for
the PCI-X HBA when I can at least get it to see my Netapp with a $60 card.

What model of HP Opteron is it? I am guessing that it has two PCI-X
buses, as that is what the AMD
This is the HP Proliant DL145. We're buying 3 of them for a project.
It has a pair of Opteron 242's in it.
