"PCI-X would be nowhere near fast enough to handel that sort of data, currently most people use PCI-X 133 which can do just over 1Gigabyte per second. PCI-X 533 can do ~4.3Gigabytes per second PCI-Express would be a better choice, allowing up to 128Gbps per connector."
I do not remember PCI-X speeds out of my memory. But things like 4.3 Gigabytes per second from CPU to GPU should be enough for some time. On the PCI-X idea the G5 would have QDR RAM on it's own (local HT) bus.
But sure, I would not complain about using something faster, but still a standard solution.
"Alternativly a custom connector using multiple 32bit hypertransport lanes, each with a maximum speed of 11.2gbps per lane."
Custom connector should be used only for the CPU. _________________
