Xeon 34XX Board with PCI-X??

Hi,

I'm looking for a Xeon 34XX compatible board with a PCI-X slot, but can't seem to find one.

Is there a reason for that or am I just tired?

Why is the 34XX series so neglected anyway?

Sorry, garycase is quite correct - I have over-Googled!

So there really is no such thing? Any idea why? I mean PCI-X is neither uncommon nor expensive or anything.
It's simply been superceded by PCIe, so many boards no longer support PCI-X.    They still have a PCI slot or two for compatibility but for higher bandwidth needs the PCIe slots provide much better bandwidth than PCI-X.
