Does anyone know of a socket 775 mobo that has a 66mhz PCI slot?

I can only find E-ATX server boards :(

Must take a 65nm E6550 C2D and be standard ATX.

PCI-e would be a bonus (8x slot would be ideal)

Reason I ask is I'm wanting more speed out of my Netcell PCI RAID card that is currently on a 33mhz slot :(
 
Of the currently available ones, it looks like the best choice goes between the Supermicro C2SBX (which takes DDR3) and Tyan S5211G2NR (which takes DDR2). There's a couple others available, but they're getting into the 'massive overkill' range.
 
Thanks Thrashbarg. I will be keeping an eye on ebay for the DDR2 model.

Price new is around £230. Atleast I know what to keep an eye open for now. Cheers :thup:

Any other boards out thier? Maybe a little cheaper?
 
well 66mhz PCI slots are only used on server boards... might as well get a PCIE raid card to use on your current board.

Yeah... actually, a PCIe RAID card would probably cost less than a good motherboard with PCI-x. Hell, a Perc 5i with the BBU and SAS->SATA cables can be found pretty easily for under $200, sometimes around $150 if you watch the auctions, and it'd be a pretty significant step up from that Netcell card. Being in the UK would probably affect prices a bit, but I'm sure there are still decent deals to be had.
