Subject:   Any Pentium boards with more than 4 PCI slots?

Does anybody know of Pentium boards which support more than 4 PCI
slots?  One of my customers has a requirement for up to 8 or 10
slots.  My understanding is that this is only possible with a PCI
bridge--is this correct?  If so (and even if not, I suppose), how
transparent is the PCI bridge to the software?  How much slower is it
than the direct side of the PCI bus?  Are there any other gotchas?
