In this specific case of the Tyan S2466, it has 2 64/66 slots, and 4 32/33 slots. The chipset is the AMD 760MPX, AMD 762 system controller, and AMD 768 peripheral controller, and the Winbound 83627 super i/o asic.
I thought that this chipset actually had 2 pci controllers - one for the 64-bit slots and the other for the 32-bit. Am I wrong?
