Default PCI Usage

Still using an older MIX system with 3 cards - 1 core and 2 farms. I'm curious as to what's making the PCI bus usage go so high (1/2 to 3/4 full). It's a dual 1.25G G4, and there is no other PCI cards installed into this computer. Does anyone have a definition as to what exactly this is showing, and why it behaves this way? And is it a problem?

Thanks,
Siegfried

Come on guys. No one here knows what this is at all? I've read the manual but it's extremely vague on exactly what causes these spikes. Just trying to get some answers.

Thanks,
Siegfried

Default Re: PCI Usage

it is normal

the mix cards used a lot of pci buss bandwidth
the higher the DSP the more the bandwidth also the graphix card has much do with this also. even though its AGP switch it to 256 colors and you'll see this

as long as it does not go to 100% you good to go
