I'm going to be upgrading to a G5 and I'm a bit confused about the PCI architecture on the G5.
I know it's PCI-X.
Can I run my older PCI cards in this machine, or do I need to upgrade them all?
I'm currently on a MDD G4 Dual 1.25.

It's PCI-X depending on the G5 model. You can run 3.3 volt and 3.3/5 volt universal cards. You can't run 5 volt cards though, bzzzzzt. Check this... http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=86513
