The MPCist · 26th March 2007

I'm upgrading and was wondering if there are any PT HDAccel PCIe users out there that can tell me the following:

Can the 'tdm ribbon' attach to the neighboring PCIe card without problems? On the Apple site it says the Mac Pro uses a new double-wide, 16-lane PCI Express slots. I remember that on the old PCI/PCIx slots, the distance is exactly right. Any 'double-wide' I'm sure would make it impossible to attach....

Or is this just on certains slots such as the display card slot?

Thanks.
