The issue is that what will be the performance dropped if the card is
plugged in a 32-bit 33 MHz PCI slot. According to the data sheet, the
MD5 performance is 100 Mbps. On a 32-bit 33 MHz PCI system, it all means
that the performance will be dropped to 50Mbps, right?

Is there a particular contact in Chrysalis-ITS who I should write to?
or just send a request to their support.

Thanks for the information,
