64 bit pci

I am looking for a motherboard with 64 bit pci. Need it for the raid controller. Any suggestions. Would like to stay with Intel P-III for the server.

Thanks
 
Join the crowd friend.. 🙁 You will only find it on expensive server boards..at about 600 bucks right now or at least when I checked last.. would love to find it on a nice overclockers board to use with a 29160.. 🙂
 
Yes, but the bandwidth is limited to U133 .. still not bad.. but to get the full U160 you need a 66MHZ 64BIT slot.
 
True. But what the heck would you be running on the system that would require over 133 MB/sec to a SCSI RAID card? 🙂

Even if you're running RAID 0 with 2 15K RPM HDD's, that's not going to go over 133 MB/sec transfer speed. The burst obviously would be limited, but I wouldn't pay a few hundred dollars more for a mobo just so I can have a 30 MB/sec higher burst rate from a hard drive, when it's already running at 133 MB/sec. 😉
 
I wonder if gfx mfg will make cards for them, The double bandwith over agp would be devine, later they can up agp, Wow agp64/x4.

Theres another point some people dont see, Even a lower throughput on SCSI is so much more smother running then Ultru-100 IDE, SCSI cpu usage is extremely low compared to IDE, You dont get that drive access lag (jerky screens)in games or utilities that are from paging or updating.
 
You will see more 64 bit PCI when U320 is in full swing.. you will have to have 64bit for that one.
