Subject: WANTED: Singel CPU based board with 64bit PCI-X slot (NO PCI-e)

Dear Sir or Madam,

I'm looking for a mainboard that meets the below requirements:

- Singel processor based mainboard (can be INTEL or AMD based board!)
- 1 AGP 8x Graphic Slot.
- Minimal 2 PCI slots.
- Minimal 1 PCI-X 64bit slot
(please do not confused by PCI-e that sometimes is wrong credited as
PCI-X!!!)

If you can help me, please give me: brand & model number of the board.

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,
Dhr. Geert Pirens

 

Look for a board with Hance Rapids 6300ESB Southbridge. The following
board is 12"x9.8", and is roughly the normal desktop size. Populate
with one processor, to meet your objective. The PCI-X is 66MHz.

To determine what kind of processor to use in the above boards, see:

This DFI board takes a Pentium-M processor (will run cool). AGP
slot is only 4X. Southbridge is 6300ESB.

This forum might be a good place to look for more ideas -

There are plenty of server boards out there that will meet your
requirements, but I take it you are looking for desktop board
dimensions 12"x9.6" and not some extended form factor like 12"x13".
Have a look at www.tyan.com .
