As far as I understand, putting PCIx cards into PCI slots is possible and decreases the bandwidth from 133 to 33. This is not an issue on systems that use HD3+. A very very marginal difference is seen on these systems, and well worth the upgrade to the computer and expanded use of RTAS plugins due to faster CPU and RAM.
Please correct me if I'm wrong.

The HD cards were never actually PCIx, they are just PCI anyways. The confusion came from the Mix cards being PCI, but not the right voltage for the PCIx slots in the first gen G5's.
