    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve bus efficiency and total system performance by providing a means which switches and sets a division transaction mode to an overcommit mode when an inter-PCI-X bridge is not overcommitted. SOLUTION: A system 24 provides a toggle for switching the division transaction mode of the bridge 34 between peripheral components interconnect-Xs (PCI-X) between an 'overcomit inhibition' mode and 'overcomit' mode or 'flood' mode when the bridge 34 is not overcommitted. Then the system 24 toggles and switches the division transaction mode of the PCI-X bridge buffer, and then retrial and disconnection are generally minimized by the inter-PCI-X bridge 34 to improve the bus efficiency and total system performance.
