Yes...a G5 which might have PCI, PCI-X, or PCIe. And that means what 
wrt PCI-X cards in a G4 PCI machine? I gather that the PCI-X 2.0 
standard provides for PCI cards on PCI-X busses but my questions 
targets the compatibility of PCI-X cards on the slower PCI busses. 
One would think that with the added pins on a PCI-X card, it wouldn't 
even fit in a PCI slot. I'm in the dark here. :-/
