BladeRunner 0 Posted January 23, 2002 So very few motherboard manufacturers say anything more that "X amount of PCI slots" in the specification of their boards. I'm assuming this is because most are simply 32bit, 33Mhz slots. So, what kind of boards offer support for 32bit, 66Mhz PCI slots? I know 66Mhz PCI cards are fully backwards compatible, but what kind of board/chipset would offer the faster PCI slots? Ta Share this post Link to post
sapiens74 0 Posted January 23, 2002 Mostly just dual CPU boards. I've seen soem from ASUS and TYAN for the AMD and INTEL platforms Share this post Link to post
Palos 0 Posted January 24, 2002 Are you talking about x86 architectures here? If not, pick any SUN mainboard, including the hot-swappable babies with 4 UltraSPARC III CPUs support on the E10000 Share this post Link to post
CUViper 0 Posted January 24, 2002 Mmmm SUN..... and people complain about Intel being expensive.... Share this post Link to post
BladeRunner 0 Posted January 24, 2002 Cheers. It just I've got a Promise TX4 IDE RAID controller now. Nice piece of kit really with 4 independent IDE channels on, so I can run my 4 HD's in RAID 0+1 with each drive on it's own IDE channel. Anyway, this card is a 32bit 66Mhz card, of course it quite happily fits into a standard 32bit/33Mhz slot, but was thinking what kind of improvements there would be by plugging it into a 32bit/66Mhz slot. Just wondered how common they are really, I'm guessing they will become more popular and will become common on future chipsets. Share this post Link to post
