[AG-TECH] 64 bit PCI Slots and 32 bit Video Capture Cards

[Impey, Roger]

Hi:

Thanks for the information. Yes, buying the older 5 volt 64 bit motherboards
is an option. However, these are, or soon will be, un-available, so I was
looking for a better (future-proof?) solution.

Hi Roger,

   in our Institut we have a PIG, Personal Interface to the AccessGrid,
Machine and in this machine are two Osprey Cards 210 on two 64 bit 33Mhz
Slot and it works fine. Our PIG-machine has the Tiger MP
(S2460) Mainboard. This Board has Four 64-bit 33MHz (5-volt) PCI slots.
I hope that I could help.

   Sven
