PCI 64 Motherboard

[Guest]

I just bought an 3Ware 9000S SATA raid board that is a PCI 64 board,
I know that it can work on a regular old PCI slot, but I would rather
have it on a PCI 64 slot. Are there an motherboards for P4 that have
PCI 64?

Thanks
Miguel

No, the system needs to be 64bit to have a 64bit PCI slot (funilly enough)
You could gett a dual socket P4 board which would have one, or an Xeon in
Itanium board.

Why are you so desperate for PCI-64? SATA wont max out normal PCI

Remember he wants the slot for a raid card. In some raid configs, sata can
max out normal PCI.

Thats what I thought.. I figured you needed a 64bit processor.

I am not desperate, I just thought it would be "cool" more than anything.

Thanks

I'm sorry, Miguel, but the provisions of the Homeland Patriot Computer Techician Act expressly forbid you
from upgrading your computer beyond the degree to which it is necessary for it's intended purpose. You're
not a terrorist, are you?

No, you don't need a 64 bit processor to have 64 bit PCI-X.

They're mostly server boards and rather expensive but, for an example,
here's a supermicro motherboard that meets your P4 and 64 bit PCI requirement.

3 - 64 bit 66MHz PCI-X slots and 2 - 32 bit 33MHz PCI slots.
