`

`Digi and PCI-X
`(cid:132) Extension of the PCI standard providing improved speed,
`bandwidth, and more efficient bus transaction processing
`(cid:132) PCI-X supports both 3.3V-only and Universal PCI boards
`(cid:132) PCI-X does not support 5V-only PCI boards
`
`(cid:102) All of Digi’s Universal PCI adapters work in PCI-X systems !
`
`(cid:132) PCI-X systems allow the use of both PCI and PCI-X cards on
`the same bus, but the slowest PCI card dictates the bus speed
`
`(cid:102) PCI-X performance degradation can be easily avoided by
`separating Digi Universal PCI adapters (33 MHz/32-Bit)
`and high-performance PCI-X adapters using different
`PCI-X bus segments !
