[rescue] Uh, hello stupid.

[Curtis H. Wilbar Jr.]

I have a board with i840 chipset and as I recall it has a couple of
64 bit pci slots.  It is a high end tyan (going by memory).  It is
a dual slot 1 board that uses the i840 and the (in)famous memory
translator so you can use SDRAM while the 840 was designed for rambus.
