PCI Express - Semantics 2004-08-12 - By Anthony Ware
Back
Dave,
In the very simplest terms possible....
"Supporting PCI-Express" means you could make a version for a PCI-Express
slot as the chip design is entirely suitable for it.
"Available in PCI-Express" means you actually have made a PCI-Express card
using that chip.
Remember a while back when many graphics cards were available in both PCI
and AGP versions? You could say that those cards were "supporting" AGP and
PCI but not every manufacturer chose to make them "available" in both
versions.
HTH,
Anthony
