What's the problem with 64-bit cards? Aren't PCI cards exchangable as long as 1. the voltages match (i. e. your card must cope with 5 V if your PCI slots are 5 V), 2. the card fits mechanically? I know some 3Ware cards are too long; for instance, the 8006-2LP doesn't fit into a FSC Primergy RX100S3's LP slot - it would bump into the monstrous CPU cooler. There are PCI cards that work with 3.3 and 5 V, they have two of these notches. See for discussion of voltages in PCI cards. -- Matthias Andree
