I have a Dell Poweredge 6450, 4 proc Xenon with 1Gb ram and the following PCI abilities: Bus type . . . . .. . three peer PCI buses: two 64-bit buses and one 32-bit bus Expansion slots .. seven hot-pluggable PCI slots two 64-bit/66 MHz, four 64-bit/33 MHz, one 32-bit/33 MHz I know nothing about all these wierd PCI formats. If some PCI guru could answer this one question: Using the above info, how many TE410P cards can I install into this machine? Thanks, Matthew
Matt, If you have PCI-X slots - those are backward compatible (like on my 1750). You should be able to use Digium cards in any of them. Please let us know about your experience though after you try them.

> What is PCI-X?I usually use google to look up things like this. 6th search result: http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/P/PCI_X.html In practical terms, they are a longer PCI slot on the motherboard, and I've always known them to be green in color.

You need the bus which looks like the one marked with a 2: It has the nodge near the chassis.
