66MHz 64bit isn't much fun when the capture cards are 33MHz 32bit.
It doesn't help the video to bus, but multiple busses to give a bus per
card would help, and assuming the data are being saved to disk using a
decent disk controller which can use the additional bandwidth, at least
some conflict is avoided or reduced.
This is really a case of using general hardware to the utmost, I suspect
more m/b bandwidth will be needed somewhere.
