@Hammer

These are PCI-Express cards, usually (and correctly) abriviated to PCI-Ex, some less knowledgable peiople/companies abriviate them to PCI-X which can cause no end of confusion

Also there are no PCI-X capable graphics cards to my knowledge, I don't even know if PCI Radeons/GeForce's can do 64bit PCI, I would guess so, anyone know?

Google(TM) for ASUS branded graphic cards...

Refer to http://www.pcupgrade.co.uk/productsDisplay.asp?keywords=GeForce+FX+(+nVidia+)+
It mentions "ASUS GeForce PCX5750 PCI-X 128MB 2xDVI VO".

Also check in
http://www.dabs.com/fr/shopbybrand/GenericBrand/GenericProductInfo.htm?quicklinx=382K&family=3816
It mentions "ASUS GeForce PCX5900 PCI-X 128MB 2xDVI VIVO"

PS I do hope that these vendors didn?t get their PCI-X and PCI-E mixed up?


Check out www.asus.com it lists the PCX5900 as a PCI-Express card. Quote from Nvidia website Quote:

Check out the New PCI-Express Cards:
ASUS Radeon X600, X300 Series from ATI and GeForce PCX 5900, 5750 Series from NVIDIA


Here's the webpage for the board you referenced http://usa.asus.com/products/vga/en5900/overview.htm and another quote from the offical Nvidia page
Quote:

PCI-Express Interface support
Delivering over 4GB per second in both upstream and downstream data transfers.


PCI-X is not PCI-Express though many confuse them. It appears that your quoted vendor may have.

@Hammer

Not that THAT would help either, that's also nVidia chips

But it seems like SOMEONE has PCI-X graphics, even if they won't support AmigaOS.

I still have to ask, why aren't you over at http://www.nforcershq.com/forum/ instead of AW.net?


Edit:
My local webshop lists these as PCI-E (not -X), you might wanna check that again. Seems they are PCI-Express.

This weeks pet peeve:
Using "voltage" instead of "potential", which leads to inventing new words like "amperage" instead of "current" (I, measured in A) or possible "charge" (amperehours, Ah or Coulomb, C). Sometimes I don't even know what people mean.
