Q: 64-bit PCI - 66 Mhz vs 33 Mhz networking performance?

[Don Holmgren]

The motherboards recently released for dual Pentium IV Xeons which are
based on the i860 chipset have 64/66 PCI slots.  The ones that I know
of are the Tyan Thunder-i860 and the SuperMicro P4DC6, as well as the
motherboards used in the Dell Precision 530 and Compaq W8000.
