Is there a way to tell from the OS whether the PCI-X bus is version 2

You basically have two ways to go. 1) Google the PCI bridge 2) run lspci with
a few -v options and attempt to decode the output.

The first approach would have told you that the AMD bridge does indeed support PCI-X version 2 but only to 266 MHz (assuming the board/bios etc. supports it). The cheap intel chip you mentioned below wont even likely run 133 MHz
version 1 very fast...

But at this point it's probably relevant to ask why do you care? I have seen many high performance PCI, PCI-X and PCI-express cards but PCI- X-2? ...that hasn't seen any wide use at all. Do you really have a card that is PCI-X-2? As I understand it it's quite dead in the water and everyone has moved on to
PCI-express.

Thanks for the pointers. The reason I asked the question is I'm investigating some Fibre Channel HBA's and was asked if I had if I had PCI-X v2 available. I agree that I have not seen it mentioned in the press or anywhere else very much.
