You challenged for 360$, but only told the P8SCi cost 280$ or thereabouts. 
Use a proper client. I can't buy a P4 3.2GHz for 80$.

Me being dead wrong about everything would mean I'd not be alive, so don't 
claim things you don't know about. Use a proper client. I suggest you read 
the PCI-X spec again, this time without skimming, as you've missed the 
important bits.

At some point you did question the ability of a PCI bus to reach speeds 
nearing the theoretical maximum, I just responded.

I'm arguing with a troll on AOL! What am I thinking! Use a proper client! ;)
