Do I have PCI or PCI-X?

I saw the suggestion to check the label inside the dual 2.7 G5 I have, but it does not appear to me to tell if this has PCI or PCI-X slots, and the info I find online seems to be conflicting. It is a build M9749xx/A if that makes any difference. Does that tell if this has PCI or PCI-X or is there another way to check? Thanks.

"All other G5 prior to late 2005 have AGP 8X + PCI-X"
Well - up to a point. As I recall there was some "disappointment" expressed in the forum in early 2005 when the DP2 was downgraded to four RAM slots and PCI

Here the text is incomplete but the slot speeds point to the difference

  • How do I determine whether I have PCI Express v1.1 or v2.0?

    This article in Mac Fixit states that computers with PCI Express v1.1 slots will NOT be able to take full advantage of OpenCL in Snow Leopard:
    http://www.macfixit.com/article.php?story=20090612121357227
    ... In terms of PCI Express, My Mac Pro is on the cusp. PCI 2.0 was announced in January 2007 and presumably made it's way onto the assembly line a few months after that. I bought my refurbished Mac Pro in June 2007. I can't determine in the System Profiler if I have PCIv1.1 or v2.0. Does anyone know how to find out? MacTracker and machistory.com haven't answered the question. It seems some of the MacPro1,1 models shipped with v1.1 and some with v2.0. How do I determine what I have? Thanks for your help!

    How do I determine whether I have PCI Express v1.1 or v2.0?
    Hi,
    Open Apple System Profiler (About this Mac:More info) and look at the Hardware: Model Identifier. If it says Mac Pro 1,1 or Mac Pro 2,1 you have PCIe v1.1 slots.
    http://www.amug.org/amug-web/html/amug/reviews/articles/intel/macpro/
    If it says Mac Pro 3,1 you have PCIe v1.1 in slots 3 and 4 and PCIe v2.0 in slots 1 and 2.
    http://www.amug.org/amug-web/html/amug/reviews/articles/intel/macpro-2008/
    If it says Mac Pro 4,1 you have PCIe v2.0 in all four slots.

    Hope that helps!

  • Do I have PCI ports?

    Hi I just picked up a USB 2.0 PCI Port for my Power Mac G4 Duel 867MHz processor Machine. I opened it up and tried to install it but noticed the ports seem to be different then what the USB 2.0 port has which is PCI. Basically if I don't have PCI what do I have and am I still able to install USB 2.0 in this machine?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Just a tiny bit stumped.
    Frank

    Here is another picture, a drawing of the logic board with labelling -
    http://img142.imageshack.us/img142/9686/qsdalogicbd8aa.jpg
    I seem to recall that not all PCI cards may be full-length, probably a function of which connectors in the port they actually need to use (not all cards may need to use all the connectors). The cards are keyed, however, and should fit only one way no matter their length.
    Since the rear flange/plate on the card, where its USB ports are, should end up flush with the opening on the back of the computer, that should give you the exact position for the card relative to the slot.
    Don't forget to remove the blank-off plate covering the opening associated with that PCI slot position.

  • I have PCI-4452-this card does not work with XP. Are there fixs available?

    I have the PCI-4452, i fould that when i installed XP on my system, the card does not work. Does this card have any drivers for ir to work on XP. Or do i have to stay on NT.

    Hello,
    This card is actually supported under XP for use with drivers since 6.9.2 and above (only traditional driver).

  • Do i have pci e or x?

    Hey guys i am trying to figure out what upgrade options i have for the video card as i may want to use final cut pro...
    i have an early 05 g5 dual 2.3 it has an ati radeon 9650 installed...is this card an agp card? i havent gotten the comp yet....its on the way.
    Can i use pci e or x cards? and can i use them for graphics?
    there have been so many changes to the apple world lately its hard to keep up.
    I am first and foremost a music production guy and that is where my expertise comes in!
    thanks...

    Hi,
    as Forrest wrote you have an 8x AGP slot for a graphic card, so I suggest (comparing the prices and availability) to buy ATI X800XT card which you can find here:
    http://eshop.macsales.com/item/ATI%20Technologies/100435338/
    or here:
    http://www.welovemacs.com/0826xegh.html (little more expensive)
    The NVIDIA (6800 Ultra DDL and 6800 GT DDL) cards you can find here:
    http://www.welovemacs.com/agpg5vica.html
    but I think that the prices are not sensible, especially that both cards have similiar performance to X800XT.
    Check some tests and decide:

  • Does my G5 have PCI Express?  - Radeon X1900

    Hello,
    I am interested in buying a Radeon X1900 video card for my G5, but the requirements dictate that the G5 must be PCI Express based.
    Mine is an 2004 G5 with the following specs:
    Hardware Overview:
    Machine Name: Power Mac G5
    Machine Model: PowerMac7,3
    CPU Type: PowerPC G5 (3.0)
    Number Of CPUs: 2
    CPU Speed: 2.5 GHz
    L2 Cache (per CPU): 512 KB
    Memory: 4 GB
    Bus Speed: 1.25 GHz
    Boot ROM Version: 5.1.8f7
    It doesn't appear to have a PCI Express card. Can anyone help me to verify this?
    And if this G5 is NOT PCI Express based, what graphics card is recommended to improve the performance of Final Cut Studio 2?
    Thanks,

  • To access Kistler Dynamomete​r Amplifier (4 component) do I need to use PCI 4452 and PCI 1200 ( I have both of them) with DAQ/LAbvie​w.

    If yes How to relate them together both in VI and by Hardware.
    Thanks,
    Niraj

    "Thanks for your attention,
    I have Dynamometer with four analog outputs to respective amplifier's,all of which I have to connect to NI's BNC 2140, which will be connected to PCI 4452, now I even have PCi 1200 which is also a DAQ card I suppose. I want to know whether I need to connect both of these together in anyway, and ultimatly will they appear on single VI together or seperatly. Like I have developed single VI for both, but Is it possible to Develop VI with access to both.
    Also is it necesary to use both, I want to know whether my application will be handled by PCI 4452 alone,
    I suppose I am clear this time about my application and things available with me.
    please let me know if not,
    Thanking you,

  • We have a PCI-6110S to run our VIs. But, we are planing to buy another card (PCI-6024E​) to run real time PID vi. So, if they are installed at the same computer, would it be a problem for LabVIEW to run both of them at the same time.

    We have PCI-6110 S series installed in our computer. We are planing to purchase PCI-6024 E series card. They will be both installed at the same computer.
    1) I am wondering if we run both of them at the same time, would we have any problem?
    2) To run PID real time, can any E series of PCI card be used?
    Thanks...

    Hello Baho,
    1) Using Traditional NI-DAQ, there could be problems with the fact that the NI-DAQ driver is not multi-threaded; meaning that while waiting for one operation to complete, the driver could cause another operation to time out. On the other hand, DAQmx is multi-threaded, and would eliminate this problem. At the time of this writing though, DAQmx does not yet support simultaneous-sampling boards like the PCI-6110S. A good solution then would be to use Traditional DAQ for the 6110S and DAQmx for the E-series board, and they would by default run in separate threads.
    2) No, using a PCI E-Series board, the LabVIEW VI would have to run in a Windows OS and would not be Real Time or run deterministically. You can run the PID program in Windows, but the
    results could be inconsistent. The advantage of a Real Time is that the OS is deterministic or that the OS allows you to tightly control or determine the maximum time any function takes to operate. This kind of control of the maximum operation time is not possible with non-Real Time OSs such as Windows.
    If you would like to get set up with a Real Time System, I suggest you contact your Technical Sales Representative.

  • How do I know If I have a PCIE slot?

    This might sound like a really stupid question but I need to know how I can tell if my Mac G5 1.8ghz has a PCIE slot for a graphics card. I tried looking at the more info under graphics/display but every time the program crashes. I don't get it. Anyway I want to get a Nvidia Geforce 7800GTX graphics card to run my computer on an HD tv. Any help on figuring this out is appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Hi-
    You will have PCIe if you have a Late 2005 Dual Core single 2.0, single 2.3 or dual 2.5 ghz (Quad) G5.
    Yours isn't a dual core, so has 8x AGP graphics.
    Best card for your machine, is a flashed Geforce 7800 GS.

  • K8NGM2-FID: bad PCI-e x16 slot on motherboard?

    Computer boots fine, but I do no get any video output when booting from a PCI-e graphics card.  I've tried 2 eVGA GeForce 7600GS cards and 1 PNY 7300GT and they all have the same problem.  Components and detailed description are below.  I assume my motherboard's PCI-e slot is bad, but don't want to RMA it unless I have to (don't want to be without it for 2-3 weeks).
    Components:

    Detailed Description:
    eVGA 7600GS: Before purchasing the PCI-e video card I was using the onboard GeForce 6150 graphics via DVI.  I went into the BIOS and selected [PCI Express] as the Primary Graphics Adapter and [Disable OnChip VGA if have PCIe VGA]. I then installed the video card and hooked it up to the monitor via DVI. The computer booted fine, but I got no video feed from the video card. I reseated the card and restarted a few more times but still got no picture. I hooked the DVI cable back up to the onboard graphics and got a normal video feed. The heatsink on the video card was warm so I know it’s getting power. I gave up for awhile and shut down the computer. Awhile later I booted the computer back up and I didn't get any video from the onboard graphics. So I plugged the DVI cable back into the video card and restarted, and I got a video feed! The add new hardware wizard appeared and installed. I restarted the computer later that night, and once again I got no video feed via the video card. I hooked the DVI cable back to the onboard graphics and I got a video feed. I have not been able to get any video feed from the video card ever since.
    2nd eVGA 7600GS: I returned the video card to the store and got an identical replacement. I have not been able to get any video feed on this video card either. I have tried enabling [Both exist and OnChip VGA by frame buffer select] in the BIOS and that didn't help. I hooked up a monitor via DVI to the onboard graphics and a monitor via VGA to the video card (and vice-versa), and only the onboard graphics displayed anything. I unhooked nearly all components - USB devices, PCI cards, additional Hard Drives etc. and still could not get a video output from the card. I have reseated the card many times. It’s almost like the motherboard is not detecting that a PCI Express video card is installed. The Device Manager only shows the GeForce 6150 Display Adapter.  eVGA suggests a 400 Watt Power Supply, and I only have a 380 Watt PSU.
    PNY 7300GT:  Installed and went into the BIOS, made sure everything was correct and rebooted.  I got a video feed from the card, but when windows detected new hardware, the computer froze so I had to restart.  I have not been able to get video output from the card ever since.  Card only requires a 300W power supply with 12V rating of 20A or more.
    I've been using this motherboard for about 8 months without any problems until I tried installing a PCI-e video card.  So, do you think it's my motherboard or something else?

    Quote from: TheBigMan on 19-October-06, 07:57:01
    Try this:
    Go into BIOS to 'Advanced Chipset Features' and in:
    'Primary Graphics Adapter' -> PCI Express
    'OnChip and PCIe VGA Selection' -> Disable OnChip VGA if have PCIe VGA
    'OnChip VGA Frame Buffer Size' -> Disable
    'OnChip VGA Trap' -> Disable
    See if it helps...
    Be well....
    Yes, I've tried all that except setting the OnChip VGA Frame Buffer Size to Disable.  I just tried that and I couldn't get a video feed via the PCI-e VGA or the onboard graphics, so I had to reset the CMOS.

  • MSI K8D Master PCI-X Question

    Hi,
    I was just wandering if anyone could tell me if the MSI K8D Master is compatible with any PCI-X 16 video cards.
    Any information would be appreciated.

    This is a server board, and server typically have no use for AGP or other fancy videostuff.
    You are confusing PCI-E with the PCI-X that the board has.
    PCI-X is an extended PCI slot that can do 64bit and 100MHz instead of the normal PCI being 32 Bit and max 66MHz.
    This lifts the PCI speed from max 256MB/s to 1.2GB/s.
    Raid controllers and very-fast network controller bennefit a lot from this.
    Ergo, the K8D boards are for server use only.
    If you want a big graphical workstation with 2 Opterons, it's the K8T Master board that you are looking for.
    But it also doesn't have PCI-E as of yet.

  • What exactly is PCI Express?

      Im kind of tech savvy, but havent heard of PCI express until someone mentioned it on a thread. Do i need a new motherboard when it comes, is it faster than normal PCI, i also heard it replaces AGP cards(that true?). Any info would be great.

    Most of the PCI ports are actually running at 33MHz.
    They are 32bits bus at 33MHz, so they have 133MBytes/s bandwidth.
    You then have 64 bits PCI, that doubles the BW. (usually found only on server boards)
    You have PCI-X, that can run up to 133MHz (32 or 64 bits), but it is usually reserved for server also.
    AGP is a special purpose bus that runs at 66MHz, with several transactions per clock (hence the x2, x4, x8).
    PCI Express, formerly known as 3GIO (3rd generation Input/Output), is the next step. It is a serial interface (like SATA, USB, Firewire, hypertransport...) that runs at very high frequency.
    PCI-Express will slowly replace the other interface (it is designed to be backward compatible with PCI, adding a smal supplementary connector), starting probably around Fall this year. However, very few peripherals require this kind of bandwidth (graphic card, Gb Ethernet...), so PCI will be around for quite some time. If history is proof, you can STILL find PCI graphic cards and ISA took YEARS to be taken off the motherboards... So, yes, the future graphic cards will probably be released for PCI-Express, but an AGP version will most probably be there too for some time (until it does not make sense anymore for economic and/or performance reasons).
    Oh, and a last point to relativise those GHz talk for PCI-Express speed. SATA, at 150MBytes/s uses a 1.2GHz+ transfer speed. Designers are slowly shifting all the // buses to high speed serial.

  • MacBook Pro late 2013 PCI or SCSI

    Hi, I  have a MacBook pro retina 13" late 2013.  I was convinced it was equipped with PCI interface to SSD, so I was expecting to upgrade to NVMEspress,  In the system I see he has no  PCI,   and the SSD is configured as Sata . Is it normal ? On many reviews on internet it looked  like this version of the MacPro was equipped with PCI .....
    thanks

    I do not have a retina MBP and the format in the display that you posted is different than mine.  My guess is that what I highlighted with the red box is what confirms that you have PCIe storage installed:
    Ciao.

  • Where we can use PCI 6224 in an electronic industry other than Testing?

    I have PCI 6224 card  and SCB 68 box with me. Upto now i have devoloped VIs for measuring volatges and currents and generating a test report. I want to further use them for some other applications. Can anyone suggest me some applications where can i use LabVIEW other than measurement and testing?

    This is a strange question.
    You can do pretty much anything you want to with LabVIEW.
    But a PCI 6224 is a DAQ card, a piece of hardware that is meant to measure electrical signals.  What else do you expect to use it for?  You could possible use it for a coaster, but that would be pretty lumpy.  An AOL CD makes a much better coaster.

  • Where can I find the driver for PCI-GPIB drivers for Windows XP

    We have PCI-GPIB cards work well under Win2k Pro and WinME, but when we try to mount the card to a WinXP machine and install the same driver as used under Win2k, and whenever I try scan instruments in Measurement & Automation, the system crashes and dumps the memory.
    Is there a specific driver for PCI-GPIB working under Windows XP? Thanks
