Richard Most motherboards that use chipsets from "http://www.serverworks.com/" should support 64-bit PCI slots. As Dennis mentioned most of the larger clone momboard vendors have them available as "server" momboards, ASUS, SuperMicro, blah, blah ..... There are also some Intel i840 chipset momboards out there that have 64-bit PCI slots, stay away from these with a passion, they were originally designed to use RAMBUS memory then a glue chip was designed to use non-RAMBUS memory. If you do a search "http://www.google.com/search?q=i840+problems" you'll get the picture. diana On Wed, 17 Jan 2001, Richard Cramer wrote: > Dennis, > > I am falling behind..are there 64-bit MBs available?
