If you mean PCI-X (I've never heard of X-PCI), you probably won't get hold 
of a cheap motherboard with that. PCI-X is usually only available on 
server and workstation motherboards, which means Opteron in the amd64 
world.

But if you don't need to do more than about 30 MByte/s, a PCI-X card will 
fit in an ordinary PCI slot.
