Oh,.. thats bad,.. uhm is this sure? As I told my board hast 3 PCI-X slots (2 with 100MHz and 1 with 133MHz) and one conventional PCI slot (33MHz). I think the PCI and the PCI-X buses have each their own controller. But if you're true and the wohle buse runs at the spead of the slowest card, that would imply that if I'm using one of the two 100MHz slots (with 100MHz PCI-X cards) than I wouldn't be able to use the 133MHz in the 3rd slot. > When the card "keying" is correct, only (2) and (3) can be plugged at > all. > Sometimes "keying" is incorrect.

Is there a way to defenitely determine if a card is keyed correctly?
