Socket A motherboards /w PCI-E?

[otherwise]

Hello all. My question is simple -- do these exist? If they do, what chipset did they use? I've been trying to google the answer but I haven't had any luck with it at all.

I've only seen AGP.

Don't exist.

Nope. Alot of them used the nForce2 chipset. There were still quite a few based on a Via chipset. Don't remember off the top of my head though.

There *may* have been a few Socket A server boards (single or dual) with PCI-X slots, but these would have been provided via discrete PCI-X bridge controller chip. New Socket A chipsets and mainboard models were well and dead before PCI Express hit the market.

PCI-X would most likely not help the OP.

Socket A was dead before PCI-Express ever made it to market.
