I'm real interested in getting a m.board that supports 64 Bit slots. However I’m really happy with my current CPU / RAM setup. P3 1.2 Ghz and SDRAM on a Aopen AX3SP Pro-U (killer board). I also have a Abit VA6 Slot1 P3 800 Mhz. I've got a RAID card and two 2x Intel Pro1000 XT Server 64 Bit adapters which would run a real treat in 64 bit / 66 mhz slots. Trick is I don't want a dual slot 1 or socket 370 cpu board. I've canvassed the various makers pages msi, asus, epox, gigabyte, soyo, ecs etc, but no one seems to have single cpu boards with 64 bit slots, except for one.

Based on a serverworks chipset. Any body know of any socket 370 or slot 1 based boards that have 64 bit slots?

Sorry, I don't know of any socket 370 or slot 1 based boards that have 64 bit slots. What I do know is that normally mobos with Serverworks chipsets = $$$

For sure. I willl keep looking. Is it a fact then that Intel 4xx and 8xxx series of chipsets do not support 64 bit PCI? Is this also tru for VIA Apollo Pro 133x series chipsets as well?
