4. Does the system have a PCI-X bus?
Yes, the devices on bus 01 are PCI-X devices, so there is a PCI-X bus.
I thought PCI-X devices could operate on a PCI bus? If that is true,
then the presence of a PCI-X device would not necessarily imply the
presence of a PCI-X bus, right?
There are no external PCI-X slots in the system, only 2 PCI slots.
The 4 NICs are integrated to the motherboard.

The NICs are all PCI-X devices and they report "64bit+" so they will be
running on a PCI-X bus internally.
2. Do any of the PCI buses support 66 MHz operation?
Yes, PCI-X does.
So the 01:0f.0 device (Multimedia video controller) is on the same bus
as the 4 PCI-X devices and will have to share the bus bandwidth?
Does 66MHz+ in the Status line means this device is running at 66 MHz?
I believe so.
3. Do any of the PCI slots support 64-bit data path?
This cannot be inferred from the lspci output -- there is no way how to
tell if a bus has physical slots or it exists only internally.
Can I use lspci to see whether a specific PCI device is using a 64-bit
data path? (e.g. the 01:0f.0 device)
The "Multimedia video controller: DekTec Digital Video B.V. DTA-105"
doesn't report PCI-X capabilities. And looking at the card on their web
site, it does not have a 64-bit extension, so it doesn't support 64-bit.
