The "availability" of 66Mhz busses is almost moot. Making ASICs work at 33mhz
is a chore....66mhz is a waze off. And as far a 64 bit busses.....there
arent many
processors that can do is, and doubling the bandwidth on a 32bit processor
isnt
always linear in performance. You have to get a whole new generation of 
processors before you will see any usable products.
