PCI-X revised the accepted PCI accepted by acceleration the best alarm acceleration (from 66 MHz to 133 MHz)1 and appropriately the bulk of abstracts exchanged amid the computer processor and peripherals. Accepted PCI supports up to 64 $.25 at 66 MHz (though annihilation aloft 32 $.25 at 33 MHz is apparent alone in high-end systems) and added bus standards move 32 $.25 at 66 MHz or 64 $.25 at 33 MHz. The abstract best bulk of abstracts exchanged amid the processor and peripherals with PCI-X is 1.06 GB/s, compared to 133 MB/s with accepted PCI. PCI-X aswell improves the accountability altruism of PCI, allowing, for example, adulterated cards to be reinitialized or taken offline.
PCI-X is not accordant with the earlier 5-volt I/O, which the aboriginal afterlight of PCI acclimated exclusively. Starting with PCI 2.x, 3.3 volt I/O was supported, with which PCI-X is astern compatible.1 Apart from this, PCI-X and 3.3 volt PCI cards about can be intermixed on a PCI-X bus, but bus acceleration will be bound to the alarm abundance of the slowest card, an inherent limitation of PCI's aggregate bus topology. For example, if a PCI 2.3, 66-MHz borderline is installed into a PCI-X bus able of 133 MHz, the absolute bus backplane will be bound to 66 MHz. To get about this limitation and the voltage affinity issue, abounding motherboards accept assorted PCI/PCI-X buses, with one bus advised for use with accelerated PCI-X peripherals, and the added bus advised for general-purpose peripherals.
edit Distinction from 64-bit PCI
The 64-bit PCI adapter can be acclaimed from 32-bit by getting longer, and from PCI-X by accepting three segments, with the one in the average abundant beneath than the others. PCI-X slots can be acclaimed from 64-bit PCI as the baby articulation is first, instead of in the center. 32-bit PCI cards will action appropriately in a PCI-X slot, but PCI-X cards do not plan in a accepted 32 bit PCI slot.2. Abounding 64-bit PCI cards are advised to action normally, with some accident of speed, in 32-bit slots3.
