Macpro and PCIe architecture

[Walter Biscardi]

[paulos] “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?”

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