03GrandAmGT Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 .....which remind me of this incident!http://www.tech-forums.net/showthread.php?...mp;pagenumber=1OK this has had me ROFLMAO for a LONG time. But believe me I work for a semiconductor manf. and we actually have people that are that way repairing equipment. These people are given the job title of Tech/jr. Eng. Once they do something like this they are moved to management . Guess that's why I don't get promoted . I am constantly cleaning these guys F*** UP's every day. So everyday for me is a laughing matter . Sad for the equipment and company as I still wonder how they operate this way. They have even told the manufacturers of some equipment that they (The Co. I work with) that they could do better than the manufacturer. This has brought a smile to my face during meetings with vendors.jd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EAT MY DUST Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 (edited) PCI-X is somewhat backwards compatible with a standard PCI bus and its early extensions. Originally the PCI bus was a 5 Volt bus. Later, in PCI Revision 2.x the PCI bus was a dual voltage interconnect. In 3.0 this was changed to 3.3 Volt only. The PCI-X bus is not compatible with 5 Volt cards. However, generally most newer PCI and faster devices will run in a PCI-X slot, however, they will limit the speed of the entire bus. For example a PCI 2.3 device running at 32-bit and 66 Mhz in a PCI-X 133 bus will limit the total throughput of the bus to 266 MB/s. To get around this limitation, many motherboard have separate PCI-X channels, allowing for better backwards compatibility, and higher total bandwidth. PCI-X is also more designed to be more fault tolerant than PCI. For example, PCI-X has provisions to reinitialize or deactivate a faulty card before a total system failure occurs.
