I think PCI-X is a cool extension if it maintains backward compatibiltiy (it claims so). My experience with PCI is because it is a synchronous protocol, it is hard to achieve very high frequency. It maybe a last effort to squeeze some extra life into PCI. I am still curious how they achieve 133Mhz on the bus because I remember 66Mhz was a challenge a couple of years back. Micron's PII PC based on the Samurai chipset has 1 64bit 66Mhz PCI slot. OTOH, it is relatively easy to make PCI adapters to operate at high frequency. A lot of the current PCI network and graphic adapter chips are spec'ed to run at 66Mhz. Tim Just my 0.02$, not Intel's official postion.
