I don't think there's much advantage to 64-bit cards for most common data acquisition. I would guess that a few high-end cards that have huge bandwidth requirements will probably start using the newer bus. (like the 16-bit 65-Mhz analog input board, no I don't have one) Otherwise, I'd bet that regular PCI cards will be the majority of available hardware until it becomes hard to find systems with PCI slots. This is what finally pushed data acquisition manufacturers to switch away from ISA. dave...
