Vid Card Interface...
« on: January 07, 2007, 08:15:34 PM »
Yo!

I have a Tyan server mobo with duel 1.7 ghz xeons. The mobo has 4 PCI-X slots and one standard PCI slot.
The mobo specs can be found

here

The question is whether or not I can throw a PCI-Express vid card in it.
Are these two interfaces different?

Any insight is much appreciated.

It has itself been replaced in modern designs by the similar-sounding PCI Express, which features a very different logical design.

Good deal...

Is there such thing as a PCI-X vid card? Where might I find one?
