Any mobos out there with 66mhz PCI Slots ?

I know most of the dual mobos have them but they use the older Mp/X chipsets and most dont support anything newer than a 2200. Would sure be nice to have this in an nForce2 mobo.

I haven't seen any outside the dual boards, I believe that some of the new hyperthreading aware intel boards may also have them

Such a waste! You wuld think with the better memory management of nForce they would add at least 1 64bit PCI slot.

Thanks

Neville a couple of questions?... What are you going to use that slot for. What are you going to put in it that actually uses the bandwidth? What 64bit PCI device do you have?

About the only thing I know of would be a PCI RAID Controller. using 64bit PCI, almost certainly it's going to be SCSI, almost certainly several hundred dollars.
No use for the avg. joe. That's why you don't see them on Consumer level Motherboards. Only Server Boards. It adds to the cost and complexity of the MB and is petty useless for 99% of the buyers. I'd rather not pay an inflated price for a feature I may never use.
If they want to use all that Bandwidth on the NForce2 maybe they should try embedding a Ti4600 core instead of that hoaky MX variant they use.


just a reality check...

Exactly that - 64 bit pci raid card and ethernet card. Both have shown drastic improvments even though they are 32bit
