If I'm not reaching early senility (entirely possible) PCI-X cards
were common in Beowulf clusters. For instance, Myrinet cards were/are
PCI-X parts.

Another old war story - there were PCI-100 and PCI-133 variants, and
the slots on the motherboard could have different speeds. Cue customer
complaining that the performance wansnt JUST as fast as they would
expect.  Cue technicians being dispatched on a trip Up North to swap
over oodles of cards to another slot.
