I have an old board with 2 PCI slots and 2 PCI64 slots.
I was wondering if there are video cards that are made for the PCI64?
 
You mean PCI-X, dont think they made many PCI-X video cards. I think PCI cards will fit and PCI-X slots are backward compatible with standard PCI cards, pretty sure. Alot of Server boards had them but AGP kinda took over for Video cards.
 
Here is what the PCI slot looks like.
Also I did find a sound card that fit. I heard that maybe a PCI xpress may fit.
any Idea?

So your wanting to know if you can put a PCI-X card in a plain PCI slot? Or put a PCIe card in a PCI-X slot?

PCI e in the PCI-X slot, but I think the answer is no.

My M-board has 2 PCI-X and 2 PCI. Should I just try for a PCI video?
Do you know of a riser card that would convert the PCI-X to AGP?
Many thanks for the replies

What did my post have to do with yours? You gave him a link to a, like you said outdated/overpriced video card.

You said that they never made any cards for PCI64. It doesn't really matter, they are overpriced for the select few that were made, and it's still slower then AGP.

If you can read I said they didnt make (many)
 
Thats cool. I knew they made them, but not many made it to market because AGP took over. Alot of server boards had PCI-X but it never really caught on with desktops boards
