This is going to sound like a storage thread, but bear with me, I promise it ends up being about motherboards and CPUs.<BR><BR>I have this 200GB Seagate 7200.7 sitting here that isn't doing anything.

What would be the performance penalty, if any, by running a raid card in a PCI slot instead of a PCI-X slot. I ask because I'm contemplating putting the raid card in my main pc but it obviously ...

Recently, I visited an online forum where one engineer asked for options for duplicating an existing PC-based test system that has four PCI expansion slots. His problem: Consumer-grade desktop PCs ...

PCI-Express, commonly referred to as PCI-E, and PCI-X are both technology standards designed to improve upon the older PCI standard. Despite the similarity of their names, these two standards are ...

The latest PCI Express technology links the PCIE-PCIX-72 expansion system with PCI-X systems. A 4x PCI Express adapter plugs into a PCI-X slot. A PCI Express cable then links the adapter to a 5U 19-in ...

Stepping in as the industry?s first PCI express to PCI-X expansion systems, the PCIE-PCIX-7S includes a standard height host card, while the PCIE-PCIX-7S-LP includes a low profile card. The host card ...

The benchmarks where done on an MSI K8D Master dual Opteron board with two 32-bits 33MHz PCI-slots, three 100MHz PCI-X-slots (divided over two PCI-busses) and a 1.6GHz Opteron 242-processor. Testing ...

As the I/O interconnect world has transitioned from PCI to PCI Express (PCIe), bridge ICs have filled a critical role: to allow designers to continue to use existing PCI and PCI-X endpoints in ...

Looks like Point of View is working on their very own ION based mainboard. This in and of itself is not surprising, but the fact that they sandwiched in a PCI-E x16 slot and they also opted for a ...

Small form-factor PC maker Shuttle’s latest compact desktop computer measures about 9.8″ x 7.9″ x 3.7″ and has an internal volume of 4.7 liters, making it a bit bigger than some mini PCs, but still ...
