I am in search of a motherboard that has a dual PCI bus. I don't care if it is Intel or AMD. I just need a dual bus. This is going to be part of a homemade network backup box. I want something that can write a lot of data (over 200GB) really fast. Cost is of course a factor.


Thanks!

You mean 64 bit PCI? Some boards have this, like server boards.. they are usually more expensive though.. Here is a mobo that has regular PCI and the new 64 bit. Tyan Tiger MP

Hope that can help you out...

That is not exactly what I trying to find. I do want 64/32 bit PCI slots, but what I am looking for is a board that has 2 separate PCI buses to transfer data to and from the processor. Is there such an animal?

Thanks!

Price really isn't that big of a deal for this. I am trying to build something for around $5000 rather that pay $20k plus for a network attached storage device.
