Yeah, pci-x is in pretty much all my boxes except my sff
Sweet, eh?
Forgot what I got mine for, but this card is the shiznit if you don't need hardware RAID. Just don't forget to yank out the BIOS chip. It works better without it and its optional anyway
Have an AB9 GT with one of these to provide 16 SATA ports.
No, but it works just dandy in a standard PCI slotThere's a PCI-X slot in that motherboard?
PCI-X is found only in high end workstation boards and servers. You will not find it in most peoples systems.
Although this card is a PCI-X controller, you can also use it in a PCI 32 bit slot.
This price isn't hot, I bought these (and the previous generation ones) for the same price years ago.

You seriously lack reading comprehension... badly! Try again.
I'm not sure what is that you're trying to suggest and communicate. All I can distinguish is that sentence/comment was poorly written.

The ASUS P5E Workstation Professional (x38) has a PCI-X slot: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131236
^Not sure what else to use that slot for other than Storage Adapters/RAID cards.
For Mac users, this card would not be compatible. Furthermore, there's not much of a selection for Mac OS X since the Mac Pros have been adopting PCIe format (recently, all its slots updated to PCIe 2.0), and have completely eliminated PCI.
Any sort of massive performance hit with it on a normal 32-bit PCI slot? I like that picture of the card w/o the backplate on it!
The standard PCI bus saturates with simultainious use of two HDs. If you're building a bulk data storage/archival box it shouldn't matter much but for any sort of concurrent user server application it'll bottleneck badly.
Here are more uses for pci-x slots
Pretty much all my friends except 1 or 2 that I talk about computing with buy dual socket boards with pci-e and pci-x.....
Pci-x isn't just for Expensive boards anymore!
Edit: Pentium D, Pentiu 5xx and Pentium 6xx series only, eek! Perhaps I can put that pd-805 to use that I have sitting in a drawer.

QFT. All I use mine for is for talking to 8x Seagate 750GB HDDs to stream media across 100BaseT - nowhere near PCI's 133MB/s limit.I disagree. In real world applications, it takes a lot more than just two drives to saturate it. Also, you have to consider that you have a much bigger bottle neck, the network. Unless if you have serious network connectivity directly to your end point, you are not going to get two users to blow it appart.
