Hello,
I am getting a new computer. I am curious what is the best pci slot to use with scope. Can scope use 66mhz slots or pcix?

nope, you can only use the regular flavor of pci. i suggest an intel board.

so a regular 32 bit, 33mhz slot will offer me the max speed I can get out of the scope card?

a faster bus doesn't nessessarily mean more performance from the card. it does mean that the bus can handle more traffic. dsps are realtime processors unlike the computer's cpu. there's no advantage in "overclocking" them.

hopefully, in another year or so there might be a pcie card.

According to the manual, an overclocked (37MHz) bus should work, but there is no guarantee for stability. old ASUS and Intel board work very well.
