Of course, sooner or later, we'll have PCI-UW or > something. Well, we have already a PCI-UW, it's calles 64Bit PCI and nearly doubles the bandwidth but the card has to support it. The other way is to add more PCI busses (of course not by a PCI-PCI bridge). There are some systems out with more than one PCI bus direct connected to the memory/CPU bus. So its up to CPU and memory bandwidth (I think the PII can handle up to 400MB/s). -- Andre Oppermann CEO / Geschaeftsfuehrer Internet Business Solutions Ltd.
