They are still available straight from Creative Labs. Looks like it uses the same drivers/config/utilities as the ISA cards.
I indeed went to Creative website and found exactly the same drivers as AWE64 ISA. However, I also found conflict statement on Wikipedia:

AWE64 PCI was later followed by the AWE64D, which was a variant of the PCI AWE64 that was developed for OEMs. It again offered the same feature support as other AWE64 cards, including the DOS support issues. The AWE64D was not quite compatible with AWE64 PCI drivers, however, and had to use separate driver packages.
There isn't any citation on that page. I don't think there's another "AWE64 PCI". Maybe if I use SB-Link, I can just use DOS driver for AWE64 ISA? But I'm sure in Windows it uses another driver package because I've found it: Windows 9x&NT / Windows 2000
I've also read somewhere (Chinese forum) that AWE64D driver for Windows XP is unstable and often causes the system to BSOD.

And it is a CT4650, not a CT4655.
The sticker on the back side of the card says CT4655. I did manage to find the difference between CT4650. There's no SPDIF_CONN pin soldered on CT4650, and SUBSYS ID is 00301102 for CT4650 and 00311102 for CT4655. I think I also found the difference between CT4600 and CT4601. CT4601 eliminated onboard amplifier, though they share the same SUBSYS ID.
