Motherboard with PCI 64bits/66Mhz

[renambot]

Hi,
I'm looking for motherboards that hosts at least on PCI 64bits/66Mhz slot.
I know the motherboards based on ServerWorks chipset (Tyan, Supermicro),
or Intel 840 with RAMBUS memory. But is there anything else that those ?
Basically I'm looking for a board with a PCI 64bits slot and good AGP
support (4x).

regards,

Luc

Server board usually dont come with AGP since they stay in the back and crank not under a desk to play games... AGP was only for games so it's a bit tough to find one with good 4x support.. there are a few but not many..

PCI64 at 66MHz and AGP4X?

What will you be using this system for?

a graphic cluster !
you take 8, 16, 32 of high-end PCs to make a nice visualization setup.

What would you need PCI64 in a graphics cluster for then?

Sorry to take this tone, but I fail to understand the point of your requirements.

If you want to use Myrinet network card (high throughput, low latency)
at the max, you need such a PCI slot. ServerWork chipset is very nice,
but some tests (http://www.anandtech.com/showdoc.html?i=1414) show
a "lousy" AGP support. Otherwise, you have to go to i840 with Rambus
and PIII, which is not so powerful on the PCI bus.
