That would be nice ;-). > Curious does anyone know if Myrinet is making an AGP version of their > board? Unfortunately, I don't think they are. But they are planning to offer 64-bit PCI soon. It also features much nicer DMA engines & IP checksum offloading. See http://www.myri.com/myrinet/PCI/pci64.html We're slated to get some beta-test boards as soon as they come back from fab. This is rather off topic, but does anybody know what the cheapest route to a 64-bit PCI slot on an Intel platform is? I know the 450NX chipset supports 64-bit PCI, but the last time I checked, machines using the 450NX chipset were only available in high-margin servers from Dell. Does anybody know of any 3rd-party x86 motherboard that has a 64-bit slot?
