PCI-Express over Cat6

Longer than that; PCI 486 systems/motherboards were pretty unusual in my
experience, so VLB hung on for quite a while until the cost of Pentiums
started falling. I'm not sure if anyone made a VLB Pentium motherboard; I
don't recall ever seeing one.

There were quite a few PCI systems which would take a i486 but they were
really targeted at the Cyrix and AMD 586 CPUs which came well after the
intro of the Pentium. The one I had, a Shuttle HOT-433, had a very limited
PCI - no Bus Mastering on IDE, or anywhere else AFAIK, but it was a nice
upgrade at the time for the $$. That was the beiginning of DIY for me.
