rx2600 1 GB/s sustained throughput PCI slot

[Gabriele Delconti]

Quoting from rx2600 QuickSpecs, page 5:

"The first PCI X slot has two dedicated I/O channels, resulting in sustained PCI X bandwidth of 1.0 GB/s. This slot should be reserved for the highest bandwidth cards, such as clustering interconnects or multi port storage adapters."

Is this high throughput slot that labelled "1" (topmost) or is it the number "4" that is the first to be activated during system startup ?

The ZX1 I/O and memory controller chip provides eight I/O ropes that support PCI, PCI-X and/or AGP via this chip.
The ZX1 I/O and memory controller chip provides eight I/O ropes that support PCI, PCI-X and/or AGP via this chip.
This controller chip supports a direct data path between I/O and main memory without crossing the processor bus.
The peak I/O bandwidth is 4 GB/second.

Please do share the information seems confusing to me also.
