How much MBps can transfer PCI slot?
Ohh i see...Quote:
PCI is a 32-bit or 64-bit bus?
It can be a 32-bit or 64-bit bus. At almost all cases, this bus is a 32-bit bus, even in Pentium and Pentium II systems, achieving a maximum transfer rate of 132 MB/s. Some rare motherboards use the 64-bit PCI bus, where the maximum transfer rate is of 264 MB/s if you use 64-bit PCI boards (which are very, very rare). This 64-bit PCI slot is wider than the regular 32-bit PCI slot.
But how can i recognize which motherboards use the 64-bit PCI bus? On documentions or there is symbol somewhere on the motherboard?
64-bit PCI is nearly twice as long as a 32-bit slot.
now i get it...
Thank you all
Just to add a bit to that, the 64 bit have 3 notches, the 32 bit have 2.Quote:
