New Old PC's

It looks like their EISA link takes you to the ISA page. We could debate if EISA itself was the mistake... ;)
 
Yup. They reference the NX-853 in the ad copy as having EISA support. But the photo of the motherboard shows plain-jane 16-bit ISA:

I'm not saying that it's impossible, but a P4 EISA motherboard would be something.

Are there any ISA motherboards that support 64 bit CPUs?
 
The gotcha is though that some of them don't support DMA on the ISA slots, so things like sound cards and disk controllers aren't going to work.

I should have been more specific and said "fully-functional ISA". I've got one of the DMA-less ones; you can program and read the DMA controller all right--but nothing happens; i.e. it doesn't respond to DRQ requests.

Are there any Socket AM2+-AM3+ boards with ISA slots? I've never seen one.
