AMD mobo w/ 64bit PCI?

[Fireball]

Does anyone know if there is a motherboard made for AMD based systems, perferrably the KT266a or something similar, that has a couple 64bit PCI slots on it?

I know the Tyan Tiger/Thunder and all the other AMD MP systems have them, but I'd like to find a single processor solution for something I'm trying to build.

I'm building a system that will be doing a lot of data transfer from SCSI HD's and SCSI DVD drives using an Adaptec 29160, and since that card has a 64bit PCI interface (yes, I know it works with the standard 32bit PCI as well), I'd like to try to take advantage of that.

Any ideas?

i thing (i could be wrong) but i think the only current socketA chipsets that support 64bit pci are the MP and MPX

just server boards, thats the only chipset that support 64bit. The 760MPX shouldn't be that expensive.

What's the best MPX board now? Tyan finally come out with theirs?

 

[Boonesmi]

yeah the tyan is S2466N Tiger MPX

and the ASUS A7M266D 760 MPX


they both look like very good boards (never used either one personally though)

The only 64-bit PCI chipsets for Athlon currently are AMD's 760MP (one 64-bit 33 MHz PCI bus) and 760MPX (one 64-bit 66 MHz bus, and another 32-bit 33 MHz).

And then there is VIA's KT266 and PM266 - if a mainboard design used their new VP-X bus bridge companion chip, you'd lose the AGP and win an extra 64-bit 66 MHz PCI bus. Noone used that so far however.
