motherboard target burst size

["David J. Matthews" <djm@papillonres.com>]

Hi,

I am designing an expansion card which will be attempting to perform
large bursts to memory on the motherboard.  I am trying to get a feel
for the bandwidth that I can achieve doing this.  I am not so much
worried about other requesters on the bus, but the maximum burst size
that the chipset can accomodate before deasserting TRDY.  Does anyone
have a feel for this for various motherboards?

Thanks in advance!
