Hi all,
I'm searching for a PCI (X) to usb 2.0 (4 or 5 usb ports) and network card for my PCI-X G5. A PCI-X network card can be purchased from Apple for 99 USD, but I wouldn't need gigabit ethernet. PCI-X is only extended PCI, so could you theoretically put every PCI card in the PCI-X G5? I already did a bit of research, and found out that I couldn't put any PCI card in it (some manufacturers even mention it that their cards do not support a G5), because of the controller of the card which needs 5 volts, the G5 only gives 3.3 volts. Does any of you have any experience which brand/cards to buy?
