the coprocessors are clocked at 250mhz, and connect through a PCIexpress slot

It's too bad that G5's don't have PCI Express slots...

PCI-X != PCI Express

[Rocksaurus]

PCI X and PCI Express are two different things, Express is much faster.

[Capt Underpants]

Ya you guys are confused. PCI Express is not PCI-X.

PCI-X is a successor to PCI. PCI-Express is a successor to AGP.

edit: This site (http://www.pcisig.com/specifications/pcix_20/) should help explain things better than I ever could...
