Will next PCI card be 64bit?

Probably, as we've seen it about, the whole range of 3-15 DSP boards, all interchangeable I/O boards, total unified SFP Operating System.

I don't think they'll do a 64bit board very soon, got my bets on an upgraded/-dated Modular, V3 or something

But of course, only the German gods do know for sure.

Hopefully with on-board 512MB DDR RAM, too!

master card = AGP with a built in ATI 9600

add more DSP in PCI slots but connected only by STDM

BYE BYE PCI

(not likely)

PCI-X looks like the thing on the horizon, faster bus speed and more bandwidth, but still backwards compatible with PCI, (but putting a pci device on the bus slows down the whole bus to pci speed) but if there are two pci-x buses is shouldn't be a problem.

I think manufactures realise it would be ludicrous to ditch pci compatibility, when we have only just got rid of ISA. (By this I mean no more ISA slots on motherboard)

Are there any boards that support it or have it in Beta stage?
Thx!

Well, high end servers have started shipping with PCI-X slots....
