More to the point, where can you get a motherboard with 3 64x66 PCI buses?(!!) Note that one gigabit card actually can use 2gigabits of PCI bandwidth (one in, one out), and a pci bus is nowhere near 100% efficient, so one 64x66 PCI bus has enough bandwidth to handle 1 such card at full bandwidth, not enough for 2. _______________________________________________ LARTC mailing list / LARTC@mailman.ds9a.nl http://mailman.ds9a.nl/mailman/listinfo/lartc HOWTO: http://lartc.org/
