Wrong... the "PCI bus" indication in Everest merely reflects that Intel had to assign some virtual bus to the DMI rather than inventing an entirely new type of bus classification. Read the thread carefully.

Once again people... the "PCI bus" thing in Everest is VIRTUAL, not material to the performance issue at hand.
