Hello,

My company is currently comparing FreeBSD to Linux: specifically FreeBSD 
4.11-RELEASE to Fedora Core 3.

We're having a difficult time determining whether or not FreeBSD is utilizing 
the higher speeds of the PCI-X bus. 

Can anyone specifically state the status of PCI-X support in FreeBSD? The 
state of support in 5.X is fine too. This is a major issue as we determine 
which platform to move forward on.

Note that I do mean PCI-X. I'm aware that PCI-Express is on Scott Long's 
wish-list of things to get implemented.

Cheers,
DMK
