PCI 3.0????

[shr@s3.com (Scott RoLanD)]

I was surfing through the MacWorld web-site to see if Apple has a
64-bit PCI chipset (anyone know if they do? If so, is it pretty
standard? Do most Digital Alpha's have 64 bit?)


And I stumbled acorss this:
http://www.macworld.com/pages/december.95/News.1615.html

In which they say:
	It's a foregone conclusion that the next major version of
PCI--version 3.0, due in late 1996 or early 1997--will double the data
throughput from PCI 2.0's 128 MBps to 256 MBps.  
...  
There are two approaches: make the bus run twice as fast, or make the
bus's data channels able to carry twice as much data.


---------------------
They also seem to hint that the 66MHz design would allow concurrent
33MHz.


This is a bit old, but what ever happened to 3.0?

What will be the future of PCI for higher through-put? Intel is
pushing AGP, although this is catered to graphics. Will Apple and
others have to move to AGP, or will everyone start supporting 64-bit
PCI?
