64bit PCI cards

[Guest]

Is there a 64bit PCI graphics card out there?
All i can find are 32bit ones.

don't believe so, th egain would be smaller than having a agp card so I don't think the vcard makers out there bother.

1x agp 66mhz= 256mb
2x agp 133mhz= 512mb
4x agp 266mhz= 1gb
8x agp 512mhz= 2gb
----
Pci 32-bit / 33mhz = 133mb
Pci 64-bit / 33mhz = 256mb
Pci 64-bit / 66mhz = 512mb
----
ISA 8-bit = 8mb
ISA 16-bit = 16mb
EISA 32-bit = 133mb
----
MCA 32-bit = 66mb

Does this help out alittle bit. 4x AGP is 2x faster then 66mhz 64-bit pci

Forgeting VLB 24-bit.

Thx Crashman. I wasn't sure about about VLB

LOL, I forgot about the VLB standard, now I am trying to remember which creative card I had with a S3 chip, 1mb video ram, in my DX 2 66mhz 486. I thought the bus speed was 33mhz for VLB, don't remember though.

Well, the ISA portion of the VLB connector was 16MHz, so it wouldn't surprise me if the VLB part was the same, but I don't know for sure, maybe it was 33 (since the bus speed for current procesors at the time was 33MHz). Could it have been split frequency?

Yes it was 33mhz the same speed of the cpu FSB. I think it was also rated at 128mb/sec max transfer rate same as a pci slot nowdays.

The thing is I don't have an AGP port in the computer I have assigned at the office
All it has is a 64bit PCI slot. If I could find a card that would take advantage of it I would be more than happy.
