Default Re: Problem using 3 card system in a mixture of PCI-x and PCI slots

SO you are saying that running PCIX HD Cards in PCIX 133Mhz Slots has no benefit over running them in PCI 33mhz Slots ?
If you are do you have any certified proof of this from digidesign?

What about the 64 bit expansion chassis?
My P7 magma chassis is 64 bit PCIX with a PCIX host card, so all 7 slots have to squeeze down one 133MHz connection, surely thats beneficial over a 32bit expansion chassis too ?

Does anyone know if there is a way i can monitor how much bandwidth a single pci card is utilizing on my system ?
Or how much is going through a chosen slot?
