Re: Black Magic Deck Extreme vs Kona LS for PCI
by Luke Maslen on Jul 24, 2008 at 3:01:28 am

Hi Dennis,

That makes sense as there's not a lot of point in paying more for a card now if you're going to be upgrading to a Mac Pro in the near future.

Here's how to tell which PCI slots you have in your G5.

1. G5's have either 4 or 8 memory slots. If it only has 4 memory slots, then the G5 has 33 MHz PCI slots. The PCI slots in G5's run slower than the PCI slots in G4's and DeckLink PCI cards won't work with them.

2. If there are 8 memory slots in your G5, then you either have PCI-X or PCI Express slots. If there is one ethernet port on the back of the G5, it contains PCI-X slots. If it has two ethernet ports, it contains PCI Express slots.

I hope this helps.

Regards,

Luke Maslen
