Similar question to my first thread.
What is the general opinion on this? If you have a board that has a PCI-X slot, true 64 bit card slot (not to be confused with PCI express) and you install XP on the board, will that particular card slot really get a 64 bit environment? Point here is with a scsi 320MB transfer, you can't get past 160mb transfer if you put the card in a normal 32bit PCI slot.
I don't mind getting a board with a 64 bit slot, but I need to know if I can get that slots 64 bit support with XP, or if I need to go to XP 64 bit OS.
Thanks
