Doug, PCI-X works OK. The ServerWorks-HE chipset is not well supported. The Dell PowerEdge 4600 I have either has h/w problems or for some strange reason cards in the last two slots (6,7) are not useable under FreeBSD 4.6-RC. I have moved the qlogic card into slot 3, and it works fine. The PCI bus holding slots 6 and 7 seems to be numbered bus 255. Experience has shown that this is incorrect, as devices plugged into those slots can be probed on bus 15. The PCI BUS holding slots 2,3 and 4,5 work fine, with PCI-X cards running at 100Mhz,64 bits or old legacy cards. Cheers, Damon.
