I was playing around whit some harddisk and speed benchmarks, putting some in Raid 0 and so. I have a lot SCSI 10k disks here, so I thought to play whit those. But most of my mainboards don't have a 64 PCI slot (only two Dual PIII's i've got here and those are server, so they don't have AGP and they are noisy, heavy, and power hungry). So I was wondering do Single Socket A board exist whit 64bit PCI slot, preferably 66mhz.
I googled around and only found Dual Tyan boards (like the Tyan Thunder K7 or Tiger MP), and they are expensive on ebay. Not one Single CPU board.
Reason is that I have some 64-bit SCSI cards, (also some 32 bits) but the maximum speed of a 32 bit on 33 Mhz is 133MB/s (33.33 MHz × 32 bits ÷ 8 bits/byte = 133 MB/s). While I could reach 533MB/s whit a 64b/66Mhz. Well... theoretically maximum that is.
