Default G5\'s and PCI/PCI-X slots with HD PCI cards

I'm looking to help someone upgrade from a dual 1.25 GHZ G4 to a Dual PPC G5

He doesn't want to go with an Intel machine as fast as they are for the obvious reason that the HD cards require either trading in for PCI-Express or buying the very expensive expansion chassis

My question is....will his PCI HD cards work with ANY dual processor G5's even if it says it has PCI and PCI-X slots?

Or are there models were the PCI slots are ONLY PCI-X and thus incompatible with the PCI HD cards? He's got one core card and one accell card.

I've seen the compatibility list online from digi but wanted to ask all my trustworthy duc'ers anyways.

Thank you!.

Hi.
I bought a new chasis recently.It is DigidesignExpansion| from a model of Magma7slot In HD expansion chassis.
The next model of Intel Mac will be announced soon.
Thus I bought new chasis at first. The performance largely got longer.
Necessary TDM power is clear for pronunciation a little.
I can use power for Plug-In more.
PCI and PCIe and both purchased the Host card. I use PCI now. It is good that I can change a Host card without buying a new chasis. Besides, a Host card is Low Price.
Mac and distance of a chasis can separate 5M, too.

the HD cards will work in the PCI/PCI-X slots
Make sure to get an approved G5, not all models are.
