  Macpro and PCIe architecture

  Posted by Paul Nevison on March 5, 2007 at 3:54 pm

  hey there

  looking into a new macpro and was wondering about PCIe. i know i will need to swap out my I/O and graphics cards, but does that also extend to my fibre card for my raid?

  thanks

  Yes, all internal cards from an older PCI-X machine are not useable in the new PCIe machine.
