It would take an astonishing amount of traffic to max out the interfaces. I
don't think a PC based system could handle a fraction of what you propose.
I think you need to look to a non-Intel platform, like Alpha or something.

I thought the PCI bus speed was the same as the CPU base speed (FSB).
You're saying the PCI bus is fixed at 33MHz?

Maybe it's time for motherboards with multiple AGP's.
