Is there a way to tell from the OS whether the PCI-X bus is version 2 or not?
You basically have two ways to go. 1) Google the PCI bridge 2) run lspci with a few -v options and attempt to decode the output.
The first approach would have told you that the AMD bridge does indeed support PCI-X version 2 but only to 266 MHz (assuming the board/bios etc. supports it). The cheap intel chip you mentioned below wont even likely run 133 MHz version 1 very fast...
But at this point it's probably relevant to ask why do you care? I have seen many high performance PCI, PCI-X and PCI-express cards but PCI-X-2? ...that hasn't seen any wide use at all. Do you really have a card that is PCI-X-2? As I understand it it's quite dead in the water and everyone has moved on to PCI-express.
