Might not exist.. Here's another, rare, 939 PCI-X board, again without any PCIe. There's also a couple of slight difference in the onboard LAN implementation (PCI vs PCI-X, Intel vs. Broadcom).

Here's something interesting, PCIe, 2 PCI-X, only 1 PCI, but in AM2:

thanks for the help - forgot i made this particular thread. i found this one to - http://usa.asus.com/products4.aspx?l1=9&l2=39&l3=263&model=1023&modelmenu=1 but it requires a 939 opteron for dc, says it won't support 3800 but no biggie - dc opterons are cheap now too.

i did some research on it and although i don't fully understand how it works i read they used the sli chipset and some kind of bridge for the pci-x so you get a pci-e 8x slot and then 2x pci-x/133.

for the price and if i still want it when i upgrade i will then do it - something that supports kentsfield too as the price for these boards is high - no sense paying $200-$300 on 939 tech - figured they would be cheaper by now.

thank you both as i do appreciate your effort.

Nice find -- I looked, but didn't see it. Found out you have to navigate through Server / Server Motherboards, not Motherboards / Server / etc., to get to it.

I'd double-check the X2 incompatibility if it matters. It could still work, and offhand, I'd expect it to. Asus email should be able to tell you. Of course there's a fair chance that they'll say "nope, not in the supported list", and not support you just for that reason.

thanks bob, but i was looking for pci-x & pci-e. pci-x is a 64bit pci slot that runs at 133MHz compared to the normal 32bit pci slots that run a 33MHz - the 64bit ones can handle a lot more bandwidth - i just picked up a 15k.5 u320 scsi hdd and it is being capped by a 32bit pci bus - it is the first hdd to have a str over over 100MB/s - but that is where my bus is keeping it. i figured if i could pick up a different mobo and maybe do a scsi raid setup wth 15k hdd i would, but the cost is way too much just for the m/b alone. i will live with it as it is plenty fast though if needed i will just do a setup with 7200.10 320GBs... or keep on the lookout for a decently price pci-e 4x/8x card

This is decently fast.

That ATTO is this card in a Power Edge 2800 handling various tasks. It has the bandwidth.

thanks, those are what i am looking for and wouldn't you know it when i first got my 15k.5 they were on ebay for $99 - now they are much higher. so i am just being patient. currently there is one on ebay for $125 with no warranty - will pass on that particular one. hell i waited years to get the deal on the drive i can wait a bit on card

i was thinking i could go with a lsi/adaptec u320 card in pci-x but those boards are very expensive - ~$300 since they are considered workstation boards.

i need to find some people parting out some dell servers...
