What is the speed of PCI

["Jay Cann" <jcann@genuity.com>]

Hi,

OK - let me first tell you that I am a network (Cisco) guy not a PCI
engineer.  I need layman's help.

I am trying to write up a Network presentation that explains the real speed
of network cards.  For example I have hard that a Gigabit PCI network card
can only support 160 mbps.

Instead of working with rumors I thought I would come to the source and ask
the experts.

What is the megabit through put speed of the following?

PCI-X
Mini PCI
PCI Local Bus
PCI to PCI
PCI 32bit
PCI 64 bit
PCI Mobile
Small PCI
PCI CD-ROM
PCI 33mhz
PCI 66mhz

What about duplex?  (example - if the PCI bus can support 160mbps is that 80
mbps in and 80 mbps out? )

If you have is the speed limited by the PCI bus.   (Example if I have 3 PCI
network cards they can only support 160 mbps together because of the bus
limitation)

I am sure by the above - you can tell that I have know idea what I am
talking about when it comes to PCI.

Also anyone know any of the above answers for ISA, EISA and AGP.  Not that
they use / have ISA and AGP network card today but who knows.   :-)

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I would be more that happy to share my presentation with anyone who wants it
after I get all the required info (ISA, EISA PCI, AGP, Anything else I
missed ? )
