Patel,
Do your simulations at 50 ohms -10%, with your add-in PCI cards
at the maximum Z0 in the specification. Use the fast driver corner
and perform you simulations. Then use the slow driver corner and
perform simulations. If you meet all signalling criteria for the PCI
bus, then 50 ohms works for you.
regards,
scott
